"Advancing with thirty thousand foot, and twenty-five hundred horse, and two hundred ships, he (Pyrrhus) totally routed the Phoenicians, and overran their whole province, and Eryx being the strongest town they held, and having a great garrison in it, he resolved to take it by storm." (Plutarch's Life of Pyrrhus) (NB: Since Pyrrhus requires pikemen, the Carthaginians must use the Roman counter mix. Remember, at this period, Carthage was still on friendly terms with Roma and Pyrrhus an enemy to both)
