What lessons did the Roman military learn from its defeat at Cannae?
The Roman army learnt that Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator had been right. He had said that the Roman army could not stand up to Hannibal in open battle and he adopted a strategy of attrition: tailing and harassing Hannibal and avoiding open battle to wear him down. Many Romans had become frustrated and impatient. The strategy clashed with their culture of aggressive war and wanted a head on clash which would give victory and a quick end of the war. This is what led to disaster at Cannae. The Romans reverted to the Fabian strategy.
Who were the Roman generals at the ancient Battle of Cannae?

What was ancient Rome's pagan solution to understand their defeat at Cannae?
The solution was not 'pagan'. To the ancient people pagan meant 'dwellers about' - that is the country people who did not worship at city temples. So describing the Roman religion as 'pagan' does not help understand their relationship with the gods, any more than questioning the Christian motivations for World War 2. The Romans and Greeks consulted the gods when faced with a serious problem, and as Chuck has explained, they did this as would be expected after the Cannae debacle.
