The Roman army was so successful due to their discipline and training. The discipline was to follow orders (obviously) and their training was not only in the use of their weapons, but also a psychological one. Their officers told them that they were superior to their enemies, that they were Romans and therefore could not lose. The omens or signs that were taken before each encounter were always good and even if they lost a battle, they would come back and win the war because the gods were with them.

They were highly disciplined, with intelligent and effective commanders, were issued good quality equipment, and were well trained in the use of their equipment and effective combat formations and manoeuvres. The Romans also made a point of learning as much as they could about their enemies prior to engaging them in combat so they could take advantages of the enemies weaknesses and take contingencies against their strengths.Of course this was not always the case, most of the major defeats of the Roman army can be traced to failures of one or more of these factors.
