Don't the think the Roman's "idiot's guide to selecting a battlefield", might suggest an open plain suited to Roman formations and not e.g. the forest of the Teutoburg disaster?
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again.
