#443 – Gregory Aldrete: The Roman Empire – Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome

1969.073 - 1994.283 Gregory Aldrete

But the Romans go back to the allies, raise a third army, and send it after Pyrrhus. And when he sees that third army coming, he says, I can't afford to win another battle. I win these battles, but each time I lose some of my troops and I can't replace them. And the Romans just keep sprouting new armies. So he gives up and goes home. So Rome kind of loses every battle but wins the war.
