I've still got challenges with even logging in to RAT. Still being challenged by the unauthorized code, which does not make things easy. Have tried Renatus' trick (thanks Renatus) but next attempt will try again to reply then add Word cut and paste. Last one failed something terrible. So have a little patience Michael, I have no idea why these problems have occurred and I have no idea as to why some past threads I have started have disappeared. No, I do not believe not using the forum tools leads to distortion. I've notice the rating game is on again. Hint, keep disagreeing with me and you will get a lot of them.
As for Polybius meeting Massinissa or Hannibal's veterans or even Laelius, I give them the same credence of Polybius' claim he found some bronze tablet at the Lacinian promontory detailing the number of troops Hannibal arrived in Italy with, and that is zero credence. But how many troops did this bronze tablet state? Was it less than 20,000 men as Polybius claims or his other claim of 26,000 men. It must have been a very confusing tablet.
