Maybe this has been discussed in older posts (I couldn't find any), but do we know how Roman battle elephants were equipped? Caesar brought some with him to Africa (to accustom his troops to them). Claudius brought sent them to Britain in his invasion. Were these naked elephants with a mahout, or might they have been armored? The Numidians did not armor their elephants, did they?
