25 Okt 218 Jahr v. Chr. - Battle of Ticinus

Beschreibung:

This battle was mainly a cavalry engagement. It was so fast-moving that the javelin-throwers deployed by the Romans had no chance of throwing even a single volley and milled around on the field, a major cause of the Roman defeat. Scipio was wounded and barely escaped with his life. He was in fact rescued on the field by his 18-year-old son, the later Scipio Africanus.
Losses
Carthage: minimal
Rome: 2300
