    ...most probably not - think of extremely bloody battles with exceedingly high casualty figures (eg. Beneventum ~50%!) quickly reducing the numbers of his irreplaceable veteran native/mercenary phalangitai, forcing Pyrrhos to depend on allied italiote/samnite/lucanian contingents,... while the Romans would have probably raised legion after legion...
