Salvete
A while back, someone on another forum asked a question concerning a third species of elephants that was driven to exstinction by the Romans by using it in arena's because those same elephants were the ones Hannibal used in the 2nd Punic War. Now, I always thaught that Hannibal used ordinary African Elephants who were in that time spread accross Africa.
Do we know for sure that Romans wiped out one species of elephant?
Also what kind of animals besides lions, tigers and possibly cougars were used in arena's?
