Ancient Battlefields

[cmacq]

Battle of Telamon; Cisalpine and Rhone Gauls vs Rome 225 BC.

Provided is a map of the Telamon Battlefield which is more or less located around the low hills southeast of Fonteblanda. The Via Aurelia passes through these hills.

This high elevation view is from the south looking over the hills of the Telamon Battlefield. Here the Gauls deployed to face two Roman armies. One Roman army had moved south from Pisa along the Via Aurelia, while the other advanced from the south and east. The relatively open plain to the north and east seems to have been the area contested by the Gaulish and Allied Roman Horse.

Another high elevation view from the north looking south towards the Telamon Battlefield. The Via Aurelia appears in the lower left corner of the photo, runs south towards the hills of the Telamon Battlefield, and continues along the coast. The site of the ancient town of Telamon can be seen on a jet of land near the upper right corner.
