Battle Report III
Rhegion, Hiems, 483 AUC

Legio I Apulia,
Commanding General: Dux C.C. Scipio Asina
2nd in-Command: Tribunus C.A. Cotta
3rd in-Command: Tribunus P.A. Regvlvs

number of men:


I had built three rams to assault the city in Summer, I deployed the legion with our Rams, manned by the Hastati, in front; Principes behind them and Accensi at the rear; while I led the left cavalry wing and Tribunus Cotta led the right wing.


I ordered the army to advance and the Rams to assault the walls at three areas; the gate for our infantry to enter the settlement and another two points in the wall for our cavalry to enter and flank the defenders who were fighting our infantry at the gate


after a few moments of pounding, the gate split open and our brave hastati poured through the gate, engaging an enemy unit of leves and hastati


meanwhile, my wing and Cotta's wing entered through the breaches made in the wall


the fighting was bloody, and when the infantry was advancing towards the Town Square, they were attacked by Ivbellivs' bodyguard (Principes) and a hastati unit; I ordered the cavalry to move around the enemy so that they could be flanked. the strategy managed to rout the enemy principes and hastati and Ivbellivs was captured while trying to escape. unfortunately, many men were lost while fighting the traitorous General's unit


the whole army then marched into the town square, unhindered except for a small force of Leves. they were soon crushed and the city has been liberated and bought under Roman rule.
