The Roman soldiers were originally farmers. They had to be home to plant early in spring and to harvest late in fall, in the winter the weather was not suitable to fight. This left only late spring, summer, and early autumn available for fighting.
Because the winter was unsuitable for warfare, the Romans continued to fight in the spring and summer even:
a) when these peasant soldiers did not go back to their farms in the winter because they fought outside Italy and wintered where the war was taking place (Greece, Spain, Africa, Turkey, Gaul and the like)
b) after the Roman army ceased to be an army of part-time peasant soldiers and became an army of full-time professional soldiers drawn from the landless poor.
This was not a Roman peculiarity either. The armies of all states fought in the spring and summer and spent the winter in winter quarters.
