This superbly illustrated volume traces the evolution of the art of warfare in the Greek and Roman worlds between 1600BC and AD800: from the rise of the Mycenaean civilisation to the fall of Ravenna and the eventual decline of the Roman Empire. The narrative concentrates on the historical and political developments of this period, as well as significant military reforms and the strategy and tactics of individual campaigns and battles. The text is supplemented by many colour and black and white illustrations and artwork of uniforms, equipment, weapons, warships, and siege machines etc. necessary for the ancient wargamer.
This is a hardback book in 'fair' condition. The dustcover is fairly tatty with some staining and damage, however the book itself is very presentable. Although it has been rigorously cleaned please be aware that this book is from a smokers collection
