This list, based on Polybios, covers the Roman wars with Carthage, Macedonia and the Seleucids. The exact time of the change from the Camillan system is unknown, but we have set it at the last year of war against Pyrrhos of Epeiros, on the assumption that it may have been in response to the new problems posed by an opponent with pikemen and elephants. The option for a Roman ally general represents both consuls being present and commanding on alternate days. We assume that Latin allies are indistinguishable from Romans, but that other Italian allies fought in traditional looser formation. Legions now fought in four lines, with leves/velites in front, then hastati, principes and triarii. In the 2nd Punic war two legions were recruited from slave volunteers after the Roman defeat at Cannae in 216 BC, and 6,000 debtors and convicts were armed partly with Gallic weapons captured at Telamon. At the battle of Beneventum in 214 BC, freedom was offered to any slave who took an enemy head. This proved a mistake, as the bravest, having killed an enemy, stopped fighting to cut off his head, and were then unable to take further part for fear of dropping their prizes. Fortunately the Roman commander noticed, and declaring that they had already proved their valour, ordered them to drop the heads and attack. Up to 4 elements of slingers and 4 of Cretans can be used with any allies. Numidians, Aitolian allies, Pergamene allies, Rhodians and Ligurians can be used together; otherwise only one nationality of non-Italians other than Ps (O) can be used. Velites can support Roman or Italian allied Cv. Aitolian allies are chosen as specified for an Aitolian allied contingent including only LH (O), Ax (S) or Ps (S) within the Hellenistic Greek list, and not in the usual manner. Bd (I) cannot provide rear support for Bd (O). Phil Barker et Richard Bodley Scott, Listes d’armées DBM – Livre 2, 2e édition, novembre 1998
