What Roman military hero do you admire most?

[Ghostmojo]

As a kid I remember reading about Horatius and his two colleagues defending the city of Rome on the bridge. That was an inspiring image that stuck in my mind for a long time - three brave soldiers against the hordes. I'm more of a Hellenophile myself, and find most famous Romans to be scheming, self-interested machiavellian types - but I'm sure some of them must have been decent, honourable citizens - and perhaps Horatius and chums were of that category.
