Warfare was the single biggest preoccupation of historians in
antiquity. In recent decades fresh textual interpretations,
numerous new archaeological discoveries and a much broader
analytical focus emphasising social, economic, political and
cultural approaches have transformed our understanding of ancient
warfare. Volume I of this two-volume History reflects these
developments and provides a systematic account, written by a
distinguished cast of contributors, of the various themes
underlying the warfare of the Greek world from the Archaic to the
Hellenistic period and of Early and Middle Republican Rome. For
each broad period developments in troop-types, equipment, strategy
and tactics are discussed. These are placed in the broader context
of developments in international relations and the relationship of
warfare to both the state and wider society. Numerous
illustrations, a glossary and chronology, and information about the
authors mentioned supplement the text. This will become the primary
reference work for specialists and non-specialists alike.
