Furthermore, it had clear emphasis on sustainability and not just fighting, thus it was adopted for winning wars and not just winning battles. *Sources* Davies, Roy W.: Service in the Roman Army Le Bohec, Yann: The Imperial Roman Army Erdkamp : A Companion to the Roman Army Hyland, Ann: Part II – The Development and Training of Cavalry in Greece and Rome.
