The legion was clearly not "destroyed". Harried and humbled, yes, but it lived on to fight another day. It was a situation similar to Varus' retreat, but not nearly so catastrophic. What should be understood in both of these situations, is that they could be considered "popular uprisings of vast human populations", and the Romans in both cases may have been outnumber anywhere from 10-1 to 50-1, thus explaining a Roman defeat.
