Iberian Army of Scipio 211BC to 206BC

This is the army of Scipio the Younger from his arrival in Hispania to his defeat of the Carthaginian forces. The Romans initially made extensive use of allies. But after a wholesale desertion by Celtiberian allies at the start of one battle, it became Scipio's policy never to have more Iberian troops than Romans in his armies.
