Actually, won battle I do know of invovling the Romans that went for most of the Day, the Battle of Pydna.

The Macedonians continued stopping the Romans advances and pushing them back.
Unfortunatly for the Macedonians, their flanks (The Companions and the Hypapsists) didn't march forward as fast as the Phalanx, the the Romans out flannked them.

Well once the Phalanx was out flanked, the slaughter begun inside the Phalanx formation, while the Companions and Hypapsists tried in vain to help them.
