War Elephants 3rd-1st Century B.C.

This set includes two elephants – Indian and African – plus handlers and soldiers. The armies of Alexander first encountered elephants when they engaged the army of Emperor Por of India. The fighting towers were first put into use by Pyrrhus, the King Epirus. Since then, elephants with fighting towers were adopted by almost all armies of the Hellenic nations of Europe and Asia – including the Roman Army.
