Why is it said that the legions of the ancient Roman republic had an advantage of the land forces of Carthage?
The ancient Roman republic's legions were primarily infantry troops who had a large stake in defeating Carthage because they were land owners. As land owners they had a clear stake in preserving their wealth and defeating foreign threats. As mentioned earlier, the Roman military had developed a superior infantry formation called "legions". The legions were well disciplined soldiers who had a regular set of maneuvers that helped increase their chances in battles. The land forces of Carthage were not as powerful as their naval forces. The armies of Carthage were mercenaries with no particular loyalty to Carthage other than the monies Carthage paid them.
