Look closely at the illustration of Rome’s enemies attacking ROMAN soldiers at the Battle of Zane. How do you think the Roman legions felt to be confronted with these strange African animals?
The Roman legions would have been surprised and intimidated by the African animals attacking them at the Battle of Zane. The Romans were used to fighting against other humans, not animals, and the unfamiliarity of the African animals would have been a shock. The Romans would have been fearful of the animals' strength and ferocity, and would have had to adjust their tactics to fight against them.
