Oh yes, how could I have forgotten the 5th legion and their anti-elephant tactics that worked so well against Afranius and Juba at Thapsus. My compliments to the dwarf.
I belief elephants were also used in Claudius campaign in Britain. Not as a weapon of war but rather to awe the britons.
It would be impossible to counter mumaks on the battlefield.
