I have googled already and the decriptions of this battle that I have found leave much to be desired. I have heard that Sulla built some kind of barricade that stoped the Pontine chariots. I can't remember how this idea got in my head; probably just one of those factoids that gets stuck there from time to time. I did find a breif description of the battle by Arrian online (I do not think it was the complete description)and he never mentions these barricades. Does anyone know of a good description of this battle? Has anyone ever tried to reconstruct it, as been done many times with say, Cannae?
