[greek enemies] Early Chartaginian army\'s
#1
Hello everybody. In the last times i often think to this argument.
How could it be the composition of phoenician armys in the VI-V sec. b.C. ?

For what i remember: iberians, balearic slingers, but also Italian mercenaries (Samnitians, Lucanians, Brutii) Siculi and Sicani, Elimi, Sardinians, and so on.
What kind of weapons and armour used this various ethnic groups? There were also carthaginians hoplites in this eterogenous army? What could be their aspect?

I hope that this is the right section for this argument.
I have posted here, because i think that there is a big difference with Annibal's army, and my question.

Cheers.
