I don't see how we'll ever know. It wasn't even recognised until the First World War IIRC, and even then many a so-called coward was shot.
Take the atrocities in Bosnia which have affected many a UN soldier. But has the same happened to Serb/Croatian/etc soldiers or militia who enacted such atrocities, the latter probably being more akin to Roman soldiers in their behaviour?
Perhaps the discussion should be limited to Combat Stress Reaction?

It was rare for a battle to go beyond a day. Personally, I can't see it. But, if it did occur it would take a lot of reading between the lines of volumes and volumes of research, and even then you could never be certain IMHO.
