Alcibiades, you had me worried, I thought my memory chip had failed me again. It was Lake Trasimene, another Carthaginian romp.

Set 8212 Carthaginian Veterans After his famous march across the Alps in 217 BCE, Hannibal and his Carthaginian army entered Italy and heavily defeated the Romans in a number of battles, culminating at Lake Trasimene. The number of Roman dead and captured was so enormous that Hannibal re-equipped his African infantry with Roman mail shirts and perhaps weapons and shields too, and it is these men, who would again crush a Roman army the following year at Cannae, that are depicted here.

Thank you but I'm not for nothing these are tranferts. The citizen infantry is the poorest, it is dressed in simple tunic normally ecru, I wanted to give a little color, while remaining reasonable.

Place to the cavalry The citizens formed a significant part of the Punic cavalry. Inspired by Hetairoi or Companions of Alexander the Great, they consisted of an authentic heavy cavalry, mixed with staff and guard of the commander-in-chief. These are the twelve figures of the Carthaginian Command and Cavalry Box set 8056.
