Gentlemen.
Before Rome declared war on the Seleukidian Empire,
envoys were sent, Scipio Africanus was one of them .
He met Hannibal, who escaped from Carthage to Antiochus III, King of the Seleukidian Empire, to avoid prosecution.
The two famous Generals discussed historical battles while the Roman delegation tried to prevent a Syrian invasion of Greece. Hannibal considered Pyrrhus one of the best commanders of all times, but criticized him for using the Phalanx tactic, as it wasn´t suitable for the italian terrain.
In my opinion the Lybian HI was probably equiped with heavy throwing spears, but the most impressibe weapon of Hannibal´s HI, was the Falcata used by the Spanish Mercenaries.
Cheers, Klaus
