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.

Because the Romans took the Greek gods but actually, the Romans had quite a few more gods than the Greeks.
