Now this is a bit off-topic, but as I was reading Epitome of Military Science by Vegetius: " Behind all the lines were posted the triarii, armed with shields, cataphracts, helmets, greaves, broadswords, semispathia, lead-weighted darts, and a pair of javelins. They waited in reserve on bended knee, so that in the event of the front lines being defeated, the battle could be restored by them as if anew, and victory retrieved."(II.16.)
So third time's a charm?

In luctu atque miseriis mortem aerumnarum requiem, non cruciatum esse;
eam cuncta mortalium mala dissolvere; ultra neque curae neque gaudio locum esse.
