Due to the Roman focus on infantry and its discipline, war elephants were rarely used. While the Romans did eventually adopt them, and used them occasionally after the Punic wars, especially during the conquest of Greece, they fell out of use by the time of Claudius, after which they were generally used for the purpose of demoralizing enemies instead of being used for tactical purposes. The Romans occasionally used them for transport.

  • Los elefantes de guerra fueron esporádicamente utilizados por las legiones de la República romana, sin embargo, su papel siempre fue secundario por la relevancia dada a una infantería pesada y disciplinada. (es)

  • Rzymskie słonie bojowe – słonie bojowe w armii starożytnego Rzymu wykorzystywane były sporadycznie, bowiem – jak pokazały to bitwy, w których uczestniczyły – łatwo wpadały w panikę i były „wspólnymi nieprzyjaciółmi”, jak to określił grecki historyk Appian z Aleksandrii. (pl)
