Clichés about disciplining
#1
Several authors describe how a general arrives at a place where the war is not really proceeding as it should. He concludes that the soldiers have grown lazy, and disciplines them again. After that, they fight like lions and capture Numantia, defeat Spartacus, subdue the Frisians (Appian, Iberian War 85; Plutarch, Crassus 10.3; Tacitus, Annals 11.18). These examples I remember; is there someone who recalls another?
