    Default Flash animations of the battles of Zama and Pidna

    I found these interesting flash animations that simulate the events of two famous battles, the ones of Zama and Pidna.

    Battle of Pidna, 168 BC, between the Romans led by Lucius Emilius Paulus Macedonicus and the Macedonians led by king Perseos:

    Battle of Zama, 201 BC, between the Carthaginians led by general Hannibal Barca and the Romans led by consul Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, aided by Massinissa king of Numidia:

    The only problem is that text is in Italian, so playing the button "play" (the single triangle) will make you read pages of descriptions that probably you won't understand, unless you are Itailians or know Italian.
    The only thing to do thus is to simply press the "next page" button (double triangles) and see coloured pixels moving up and down around the screen, skipping texts.

    Names, even if in Italian, are clearly understandable, however.
    I mean, you don't need to have learnt Italian to recognize that words like "Astati", "Cartaginesi", "Celti" or "Ipaspisti" mean "Hastati", "Carthaginians", "Celts" and "Hypaspistai".

    You're an island of tranquillity in a sea of chaos.
