Enemy horses as targets

[zakhx150]

Polybius 2. 28-31

in his account of the battle of Telamon, western italy 225BC between The Romans and Cisalpine Gauls he notes that the roman cavalry charged the flank of the gauls, coming downhill and straight into the infantry and otherwise engaged celtic cavalry.

diodorus siculus also goes on about gallic chariots that target horses with their javelins first and then get into the thick of the action on foot.

hows that for a well researched first post?
