Hi. I found here another possible order of battle for Heraclea:

Pyrrhus
 * 3000 Advanced Guards with Milo (Hypaspists or Chaeonians)
 * 20,000 Phalangites, Hoplites, and Peltasts (Includes 5000 Macedonian mercenaries supplied by Ptolemy)
 * 3000 horse (Including a contingent of Thessalian Horsemen)
 * 2000 archers
 * 500 Rhodian slingers
 * 20 war elephants with towers holding troops

Tarantine army
 * 6000 Levy Hoplites
 * 1000 Cavalry

Romans
 * 20,000 legionars (4 legions)
 * 1,200 cavalry

Roman allies
 * 16,800 legionars (4 legions)
 * 2,400 Light infantry Bruttians, Campanian allies
 * 3,600 Allied Legion Cavalry
 * 1,200 Southern Italian Light Cavalry

The numbers given in the order of battle do not add up to the strength of the Roman army (45,200)on the top right of the article. 2003:6B:62E:DA37:E414:A15C:92:364C (talk) 10:01, 7 November 2015 (UTC)Neil Fox2003:6B:62E:DA37:E414:A15C:92:364C (talk) 10:01, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
