Date range pushed back. Added troopt types for Abystae and Makai.

Historical NotesThe Libyan tribes which had existed in Ancient Egyptian times continued to occupy the southern portion of Cyrenaica even after the arrival of the Greeks. These tribes included the Makai (Macae), Auschisae, Auses, Maxyes, Machlyes and the Abystae. A further Libyan civilization, the Garamantes occupied the most habitable region of the Sahara: the Wadis el-Agial and Sciati and the oases from Murzuk to Zuila. The Romans led two expeditions against the Garamantes. In 202 AD, Septimius Severus captured the capital city of Garama.

Troop NotesChariots: The Libyans used four horse chariots. The Asbystae were distinguished above the other Libyan tribes for their skill.Warriors: Libyan warriors were primarily javelinmen. They carried shields, the Makai are recorded using Ostrich skin shields.

AlliesCarthaginian allies - Early Carthaginian Sicilian Greek allies - Classical Greek

Historical NotesThe Sicels, Sicani and Elymoi were the inhabitants of Sicily prior to the Greeks and Carthaginians. With the arrival of the Greeks and Carthaginians they were pushed into the hinterland. It is possible that Morgantina was a Sicel city. In the middle of the 5th century BC a Sicel leader, Ducetius, was able to organise a Sicel state to oppose Syracuse. He was defeated in 450 BC. Sicels were present at the Athenian siege of Syracuse, having revolted from Syracusan rule.

Troop NotesSicel warriors may have fought in a similar style to the hill tribes of Italy. As they absorbed Greek culture, some may have fought as hoplites.

Makai allies - Libyan (513 BC) Numidian allies (from 309 BC)

Historical NotesCarthage, a Phoenician colony on the north African coast near modern Tunis, established a pre-eminent position in controlling trade in the western Mediterranean. By 509 BC Carthage controlled over Sardinia and the western half of Sicily. This brought Carthage into conflict with the Greeks of Sicily. In 480 BC Geto, tyrant of Syracuse, attempted to unite the island under his rule. The Carthaginians sent an army under Hamilcar but was defeated in the battle of Himera. In 409 BC Hannibal Mago captured Selinus and Himera but failed in capturing Syracuse. A second expedition in 405 BC ended unsuccessfully. In 398 BC Dionysius, tyrant of Syracuse, attacked the Carthaginian city of Motya. Himlico responded decisively capturing Messina and besieging Syracuse until plague broke out in the Carthaginian army. Carthage suffered further successes and set backs in 387 BC By 340 BC, Carthage had been pushed entirely into the southwest corner of the island. In 311 BC, Agathocles, the tyrant of Syracuse invaded the last Carthaginian holdings besieging Akragas. In 310 BC a Carthaginian army led by Hamilcar had tremendous success and besieged Syracuse. Agathocles led an invasion of mainland Africa which resulted in a recall of the Carthaginian forces. Although Agathocles' army was eventually defeated, he escaped back to Syracuse and negotiated a peace treaty.In 278 BC Pyrrhus invaded Sicily as a result of requests from the Greek cities. Pyrrhus captured Panormus and Eryx. He refused a Carthaginian offer to surrender everything in Sicily except for Lilybaeum. Pyrrhus however lost interest in Sicily and returned to Italy.

Early Carthaginian

Chariots: The Phoenicians who founded Carthage may have brought the tradition of chariot warfare with them. They appear to have been four horse chariots with a crew of 2, a driver and a warrior with bow and spears.Cavalry: The Carthaginians had some native cavalry, probably drawn from an aristocratic elite. They also recruited cavalry from the territories they controlled or were allied with including Etruscans, Campanians and Greeks.Sacred Band: The Carthaginians organised a "sacred band" of 2,500 warriors recruited among the wealthy families.African infantry: Carthage and her colonies would raise a Citizen militia. These were supplemented by "contracted" warriors from the settled areas along the North African coast. The Carthaginians appear to have preferred Greek mercenary hoplites when available. Spanish infantry: Carthage also recruited Spanish infantry.Gallic Infantry: Gallic infantry are first recorded in Punic armies in 348 B.C.Numidians: From the middle of the 4th century B.C. onwards Numidian cavalry were recruited in increasing numbers.

Changes from last versionIncreased maximums of Campanian cavalry and African spearmen.

Historical NotesThe Sardinians resisted Carthaginian attempts to conquer the island from the 6th century BC onwards. The south and central western part of the island was seized by the Carthaginians in 510 BC. In 238 BC Rome took advantage of a rebellion of Carthaginian mercenaries to seize the island. It took them many years to pacify the island. A rebellion in 215 BC was supported by the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War.

Troop NotesSardinian warriors may have fought in a similar style to other Italian hill tribes. A proportion appear to have fought as archers. Generals may have been mounted in chariots.

Historical NotesSyracuse was founded around 733 BC and grew to be one of the most pre-eminent Greek cities in the Mediterranean. In 415 BC, Syracuse found itself at war with Athens, which sought more resources to fight the Peloponnesian War. The Athenian attack failed disastrously, with the destruction of the entire force.In the 4th century BC Syracuse was engaged in a series of wars with Carthage for control of Sicily. Agathocles led an invasion of Africa which although eventually defeated inflicted heavy casualties on the Carthaginians. The Carthaginians laid siege to Syracuse for the fourth and last time in 278 BC. They retreated at the arrival of king Pyrrhus of Epirus, whom Syracuse had asked for help. After a brief period under the rule of Epirus, Hiero II seized power in 275 BC. During the First Punic War Syracuse came into conflict with the Romans but sued for peace early on. In the Second Punic War, allied to Carthage, the city was besieged for three years, sacked and the Romans assumed control of Sicily.

Troop Notes

None.

The Syracusans supplemented their own forces who fought in traditional Greek style with mercenaries from the western Mediterranean and Italy.

In 134/133 BC the Roman general Scipio Aemilianus Africanus besieged the Celtiberian stronghold of Numantia. After eight months most of the inhabitants decided to commit suicide rather than surrender.

Troop NotesCavalry: Spanish cavalry had a good reputation, Poseidonios thought the Spanish cavalry was superior to Numidian.Infantry: The Iberians fought with javelins and large round shields. In the 3rd century BC they adopted the Scutum.Skirmishers: Spanish tribes appear to have excelled in guerrilla warfare.

Historical NotesThe Iberians refers specifically to the the people living in the eastern and southern coasts of the Iberian peninsula, which by the 6th century BC had absorbed cultural influences from the Phoenicians and the Greeks. After the First Punic war, the massive war debt suffered by Carthage led them to attempt to expand their control over the Iberian peninsula. This led to the Carthaginians besieging the Roman ally of Saguntum and initiated the Second Punic War. The Iberian theater was a key battleground during this war and many Iberian and Celtiberian warriors fought for both Rome and Carthage, though most tribes sided with Carthage. After the Carthaginian defeat, the Iberian territories were divided into two major provinces, Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior. Wars and campaigns in the northern regions of the Iberian peninsula would continue until 16 BC.

Historical NotesThe Lusitani were an Indo-European people who by the 5th century BC occupied much of northern Portugal. The Lusitani are mentioned for the first time in Livy (218 BC) and are described as fighting for the Carthaginians. They fought against Rome throughout the 2nd century BC In the first century BC they allied themselves with the Roman general Sertorius. They were not finally defeated until the reign of Augustus in around 24 BC.

Numidian elephants may be accompanied by javelinmen.

Historical NotesNumidia was an ancient kingdom in eastern Algeria and Tunisia. Numidia was originally divided between Massylii in the east and Masaesyli in the west. At the end of the Second Punic War, Massinissa, king of the Massylii, defeated Syphax of the Masaesyli to unify Numidia into one kingdom. After the death of the long-lived Masinissa around 148 BC, he was succeeded by his son Micipsa. When Micipsa died in 118, the kingdom fell into dispute. Jugurtha, an illegitimate son of Micipsa, came out on top but fell into dispute with Rome. This led to the long-drawn out Jugurthine War which only ended when Sulla captured Jugurtha. After the death of Jugurtha, western Numidia was added to the lands of Bocchus, king of Mauretania.Numidia was becoming more influenced by Rome. In the Roman civil wars King Juba I of Numidia was allied to Pompey, Bogud of Mauretania was allied to Caesar. Numidia and Mauretania were incorporated into the Roman empire by 25 AD. There were several Moorish revolts until independence was gained in 429 AD following the Vandal invasion.

Troop NotesElephants: The Numidians supplied Elephants to Carthage and then Rome. These were African forest Elephants.Cavalry: Numidian cavalry were famous skirmishers described by Sallust as operating in "haphazard groups". Equipped with javelins they would retreat if charged but would then wheel round and attack with great daring.Infantry: Infantry were initially equipped like the cavalry and fought as skirmishers. The Romans trained some Numidians to fight in formation during the Second Punic War. Troops in territories taken over from the Carthaginians may also have fought in a closer formation than skirmishers. Images suggest such troops were armed with a Scutum and javelins.By the 1st century B.C., the Numidians were being influenced by the Romans. King Juba, allied to the Pompeians, formed four "legions" of infantry.


NotesOnly Moorish armies can be chosen after 25 AD

If Hannibal is the C-in-C then he must be Talented or Legendary.The theatre of war (Spain, Italy, Africa, Sicily or Sardinia) must be specified.

Historical NotesThe Carthginians fought two major wars against the Romans. After the First Punic War they lost control of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. After defeat in the Second Punic War Carthage lost all of its possessions outside Tunisia, effectively reducing it to the status of a Roman vassal. The city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC.

The First Servile War arose in Sicily. Sicily supplied much of the wheat to feed Rome. Wealthy landowners had acquired large numbers of slaves. A freeborn slave named Eunus styled himself "King Antiochus". At the same time in the western part of Sicily, a slave manager or vilicus named Cleon gathered slave troops under him. The Roman authorities were slow to react. The revolt was eventually suppressed by the consul Publius Rupilius.

Troop Notes"King Antiochus" formed a bodyguard. They all suicided rather than surrender.The slaves where characterised by desperation due to the brutal treatment they might expect if captured, but also suffered from a shortage of arms.

Historical NotesAround 800 Italian slaves were released from Sicily, frustrating many non-Italians who thought they would be released as well, and many of these abandoned their masters, incorrectly believing themselves to have been freed. A rebellion broke out when they were ordered back to servitude by the Governor. A slave by the name of Salvius was following in the footsteps of Eunus, fighting for his rights and elected leader of this rebellion. He assumed the name Tryphon, from Diodotus Tryphon, a Seleucid ruler.He amassed an army containing thousands of trained and equipped slaves, including 2,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and was joined by a Cilician named Athenion and his men from the west of Sicily. The Roman consul Manius Aquillius quelled the revolt only after great effort.

Historical NotesThe Sertorian War lasted from 80 BC to 72 BC and was a conflict in which a coalition of Lusitanian and other Spanish tribes with exiled Romans led by Quintus Sertorius fought against the representatives of the regime established by Sulla. In 77 BC Sertorius was joined by 53 cohorts of Roman exiles who were led by Marcus Perpena. Perpena resented Sertorius when Sertorius was assassinated by Marcus Perpena who was then promptly defeated by Pompey.
