Ecnomus
#1
In the naval engagement off Ecnomus, in 256 BCE, the Romans employed 330 ships, and the Carthaginians 350. If we accept 200 men/ship, almost 140,000 people were present, which must make this one of the largest battles in Antiquity. Does anyone know a larger battle for which reliable statistics exist?
