If I remember correctly, a large fleet with a large army was being sent to Iberia by Rome, by going overland he evaded that army.

    Yes, this are facts. No problem about it.

    In my post i was replying to Anubis: he read that Ptolies were able to send some elephants to Carthage via sea in the second punic war , whitch was possible because the Romans in that time didn't control the sea. I found that contradictory with what i have read: that Hannibal went from Spain not because there was his major recruitment pool, but because he couldnt invade Italy via sea witch was under control of the Romans. Thats why im

    Yes, i missed that ..


    So, is it correct to conclude this:

    Prolemey II did help Carthage in the start of the 1. punic war. After some time, Roman diplomacy made him to change his mind, so he refused to give loan/credit to Chartage (2000 talents, as i read in my book) when war was about to end?

    Alright, so did we find a mistake by the EB team then??

    If Ptolemaics did aid at the first part of the 1st Punic War, then the biography description is wrong:

    Picture showing the concerning biography (its said in the second part of the description):
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

    It's possible. But i'm not sure what sources EB used in this matter. It is indeed wierd that the description says that Ptolomy was allied to the Romans, but in game it does not show
