Description
In 275 BC the battle of Benevento was the last for the Greek king Pyrrhus of Epirus in Italy. The war elephants he had with him, came from his Greek Macedonian allies.
The Romans after the initial surprise, did not take long to realize that, like all animals, so the pachyderms afraid of fire, and with flaming arrows and lighted sail with their famous "scorpion" (Roman ballistras) spreaded panic in the big animals which in horror trampling everyone in their way.
