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.

There were two reasons why the Romans were defeated at the battle of Cannae. One was the military brilliance of Hannibal. He was one of the greatest military geniuses of antiquity. This battle was one of the masterpieces of Hannibal's tactical cleverness. The other was the superiority of Hannibal's cavalry. The Roman cavalry was 1/3 of the size of the infantry. Hannibal's cavalry was 2/3 of its forces. With a superior cavalry, the cavalry could outflank the enemy and attack them from the rear, thus encircling the enemy as the infantry attacked at the front.
