camapnians - Early carthaginians

[Jilu]

Hello,

Early camapnians army list and  - Early carthaginians  : campanian mercenaries
i wonder why the troop types in both army lists are completely different.

I suppose you mean the campanian mercenary infantry as the cavalry is the same 

By the way did anyone notice the following
Early Campanian 500 BCE - 264 BCE
Later Campanian 335 BCE - 211 BCE

Also in the later carthaginian, the campanian fot have no mandatory triarii ..so I think all is covered now

By the way did anyone notice the following
Early Campanian 500 BCE - 264 BCE
Later Campanian 335 BCE - 211 BCE

And your point? The overlap is noted in the notes for the Later version.

i am just wondering why the campanian mercenaries in the early cartha's are completely different from the troops in the early campanian army

Just to be sure we covered it all for the campanians so Jilu's question about constitency of INF classification  remain asdo  my remark about the triarii

Richard is the one to answer those ones but I'd hazard something along the lines that mercenaries are possibly going to be better than a run of the mill warrior call up (and for these it would be the warriors not the hoplite types in the main I suspect) and that mercenary Campanians were well regarded, and that the ones fighting with Hannibal are volunteers and not "formal" legions. But just my speculation.
