''Surprised and outmanoeuvred, the Romans did not have time to draw up in battle array, and were forced to fight a desperate hand-to-hand battle in open order. The Romans were quickly split into three parts. The westernmost was attacked by the Carthaginian cavalry and forced into the lake, leaving the other two groups with no way to retreat. The centre, including Flaminius, stood its ground, but was cut down by Hannibal's Gauls after three hours of heavy combat.''

Is this an accurate representation of the tactical situation, or just confused conjecture of what may have happened? The author does not cite any sources for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boozermonkey (talk • contribs) 18:57, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
