In the ancient world, war played a crucial part in shaping and
changing social and political structures. The impact of war on the
ancient societies of the Mediterranean world is the subject of this
book and its companion, "War and Society in the Roman World". The
authors have drawn together a collection which extends beyond the
traditional emphasis on political causes, tactics and strategy, and
military organization. Instead, warfare is viewed as a species of
social action, affecting and affected by social conditions and
ideology, and having social, economic, and cultural consequences.
This conception of warfare as a social agency is considered through
examination of the causes of war, booty, slavery and other profits
of war and their effects in Greek societies; war in literature and
sculpture, including ideology of victory and warrior; and the
critical construction of the image of the enemy.
