Hmm...elephants didn't participate in too many medieval battles, so I am going to go on a limb and say the Battle of Panipat, although it appears much earlier...

Tough one
Re: Name that Battle!
Tough indeed.
The camp design on the right is definitively Roman. The battle order of the right army seems to be Roman, too. The ranks of infantry in the center. The third rank the smallest. This could be a Republican Roman army prior to the Marian reforms.
The enemy is a lot more difficult to determine: huge disorganized baggage train. The best hint I can find are the war elephants on the flanks. I am tempted to look at Carthage but their usual tactic seems to have been to put their elephants in front of their infantry in the center.
The number of elephants (~ 20) is about what Pyrrhus had with him on his Italian campaign. It's probably wrong: Battle of Heraclea.

It is indeed Roman, but no, not Heraclea. Your definitely on the right track.

Battle of Asculum?
Under the patronage of Emperor Maximinus Thrax
"Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."
