Was chatting with a friend and we got onto Hannibal, specifically if he would have ridden an elephant in battle. My personal feeling was no, he'd be on horseback like those before him who followed the Alexander the Great model, like Pyrrhus and Demetrius. Plus he'd lost his elephants early in the campaign.<br>

I was just wondering if you guys had any info on historical proof of Carthaginian generals fighting from elephants, ala Hamilcar, Hasdrubal, etc? <p></p><i></i>
