How many Roman Deaths occurred in the battle of Cannae?

Estimates of the casualties of the Battle of Cannae given by ancient historians vary. Polybius said that 70,000 Roman and allied infantrymen and 6,000 Roman and allied cavalrymen were killed and that only 357 men survived. Livy thought that 45,500 infantrymen and 2,700 cavalrymen died and that 3,000 infantrymen and 1,500 cavalrymen were captured. Appian and Plutarch said that 50,000 men were killed and Quintillian gave a figure of 60,000. Some modern historians tend to agree with Livy's figure, others give lower estimates of 10,000 to 16,000 men killed. There are no figures for the number of wounded men.
