The Romans were masters of adaptability and discipline. Their testudo (tortoise) formation, where soldiers would lock shields to create an impenetrable defense, shows how coordination beats individual action. In today's world, that translates to building strong communities and having aligned incentives. Also, the Roman principle of divide et impera (divide and conquer) is still relevant - breaking down big challenges into manageable pieces rather than trying to solve everything at once. The key is discipline and patience, just like how Roman legions would wear down opponents through consistent pressure rather than rushing in.
