I'm not really up on the historical facts but knowing the Roman mentality, they were creative and innovative so usually found some way around most any obstacle and I just can't see them coming up to a river and thinking "Damn! A river! Oh well we'll just have to turn around and go home."

I would maybe surmise that they had multiple strategies and would deploy different ones depending on available time and resources. Maybe goat skins, maybe rafts. If nothing else, the Romans were persistent as hell and didn't give up easily so I would be sure they used whatever means at their disposal and I somehow don't think it would have been swimming your soldiers across in full gear :-)
