Thanks for all the responses!
It makes more sense now, but it still amazes me.
That is the one thing, I think, that leaves me really impressed with the Roman Army.
It wasn't unbeatable; especially if it was poorly led. But it seems its awesome engineering, logistics, and organization just seemd to put its 'normal' so much above another armies 'normal', and allowed it to bounce back from defeats really well when they happened and just keep grinding.
