Richard Evans revisits the sites of a selection of Greek and Roman
battles and sieges to seek new insights. The battle narratives in
ancient sources can be a thrilling read and form the basis of our
knowledge of these epic events, but they can just as often provide
an incomplete or obscure record. Details, especially those related
to topographical and geographical issues which can have a
fundamental importance to military actions, are left tantalisingly
unclear to the modern reader. The evidence from archaeological
excavation work can sometimes fill in a gap in our understanding,
but such an approach remains uncommon in studying ancient battles.
By combining the ancient sources and latest archaeological findings
with his personal observations on the ground, Richard Evans brings
new perspectives to the dramatic events of the distant past. The
campaigns and battles selected for this volume are: Ionian Revolt
(499-493BC), Marathon (490 BC), Thermopylai (480 BC), Ilerda (49
BC) and Bedriacum (AD69).
