In the 300 years between the conquest of Alexander the Great and
the battle at Actium, continual warfare had a dramatic effect on
Hellenistic society and culture. Exploiting the abundant primary
sources available, this book examines the many different ways in
which war shaped the Hellenistic world.
The volume shows how war was intimately connected with economic,
social and political life, looking at the connections between war
and religion, the ideology of Hellenistic monarchy, the rule of
elites, and technological change. At the same time, the book
continually draws attention to the experience of war, both from the
battlefield perspective of professional soldiers, and from that of
its victims - non-combatants, women and children.
