This set transports modelers to ancient times—the era of the Punic Wars (3rd–2nd century BC), during which the Carthaginian armies were among the most powerful military formations in the Mediterranean region.

Historical Background of the Carthaginian Infantry

The Carthaginian infantry formed the backbone of the Carthaginian army—a famous city-state from North Africa, whose power was owed not only to excellent commanders like Hannibal Barca but also to its well-trained mercenary troops. The Carthaginian infantry took part in decisive battles, such as the Battle of Cannae (216 BC), which was one of Hannibal’s greatest victories over Rome. The use of this formation dates back to the Punic Wars—a key event of the ancient era.
