Abstract
In the wake of Livy's account of the fate reserved to the legiones Cannenses during the secons Punic war, historiographers kept harking back to that episode, in particular Valerius Maximus and Frontinus. Their references to those legions are mostly meant to illustrate one very definite theme : military discipline. Beyond that rather reductive aspect, other references from their works bring us back to the troubled hours that followesd the defeat at Cannae and the energetic policy implemented by the Roman Senate.
