Seeing the slave army on the beach dunes Scipio ordered a bombardment and for the army to land under its covering fire. All seemed well until when half of the soldiers had landed and upon a signal from Tryphon the rowing slaves within the roman fleets rose up their chains already unlocked by traitors within.
At this point the slave army attacked down the slopes. Scipio and Julius try to regain control of the situation and decide to withdraw soldiers to retake the ships rather than continue fighting on land, which they barely manage to do. Thousands of legionnaires, some the old veterans of Nola against carthage desperately try to flee to the retreating ships but are cut down in the waves
It was an unmitigated disaster. Scipio resigns command and goes to Narbonese Gaul in shame.
Roman Casualties
Legio X Triumphalis
Legio XII Africanus
1 legion
Slave Casualties
Few
Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus -2 popularity for losing 3 legions
Romans hate military disasters, +1 unrest
-1 unrest for naval victory
Tarentine Campaign Lucius Aemilius Paullus (Flanking)
(8 Legions +8 veterans+ 5 command+1 reforms)=30 strength Philip V (Flanking)
20 armies +6 command =26 strength
Battle Roll: 9+4=13
Result: Stalemate
Philip, growing increasingly paranoid and supersitious in his old age does not fight and instead opts to fortify himself in Tarentum. He knows time is on his side upon hearing news that Pergamon's defeat, his son-in-law would soon arrive. From this great fortress in the south he has begun sending out his cavalry on daily raids against italian and greek villages and farms who still continue to support the Roman occupiers.
Paullus can do little except build a wall around the city and try to contain him.
Roman Casualties
Minimal
Maecdonian Casualties
Minimal
Lucius Aemilius Paullus reforms veteran legion Legio X Triumphalis
