480 elephants... that is some number! When 15 elephants could ruin the day then I suppose 480 could realy really ruin your day.

It must have been a mighty sight, elephants as far as you could look. If we take it that they were in a two deep formation and with a spread of about 20 meters each (each being 2 meters wide) we end up with more than 5 km of frontage. If I wasn't on Seleucus' side I would be scared shitless.
