Historical background
War elephants came from India into the armies of the Mediterranean: Alexander met them at the Hydaspes in 326 BC, the Seleucids used Indian, the Ptolemies and Carthaginians African elephants. Pyrrhus brought them to Italy in 280 BC, Hannibal across the Alps in 218 BC. Against troops that had learned to open lanes for them they often became a danger to their own side.
