It looks at its prime characteristics, including mobility, protection, armament, training, leadership, flexibility, and motivation.

This book challenges this assumption, analyzing the position of Greek cavalry, and especially the Athenian arm, not only in the battlefield but in society as a whole.

VETERANEN UNTER DEN SEVERERN UND FRÜHEN SOLDATENKAISERN Die Dokumentensammlungen der Veteranen Aelius Sarapammon und Aelius Syrion (German Edition)

Very, very light shelfwear else fine. ; English summary: How did the Roman veterans make their lives after the end of the term of service and discharge from the army? What positions did they take in the social and economic structures of their chosen residences? There is scarcely other source material that offers more answers to these questions than that which remains in the surviving papyri from Egypt. Patrick Sanger uses the document collections of the veterans Aelius Sarapammon and Aelius Syrion to make possible a thorough analysis of the socio-economic position of the two protagonists, who made their home in Ankyronpolis, a village of mid-Egyptian region of Herakleopolis. The pertinent 19 archival texts (P. Vet. Aelii) span the time from the end of the 2nd to the middle of the 3rd century CR, and are presented here, some for the first time and some as a new edition. These documents, which will not only garner interest by reason of their time period but also their contents, serve as the point of departure for a presentation of the socio-economic situation of veterans in Egypt and other provinces of the Roman Empire as well as for the detailed study of the legal and administrative history. German description: Wie gestaltete sich das Leben romischer Veteranen nach der Beendigung der Dienstzeit und der Entlassung aus der Armee? Welche Position nahmen sie im sozialen und okonomischen Gefuge des von ihnen gewahlten Wohnortes ein? Kaum ein anderes Quellenmaterial als die in Agypten erhalten gebliebenen Papyri halt mehr Antworten auf diese Fragen bereit. Die von Patrick Sanger erschlossenen Dokumentensammlungen bzw. Archive der Veteranen Aelius Sarapammon und Aelius Syrion ermoglichen eine eingehende Analyse der sozio-okonomischen Verhaltnisse der beiden Protagonisten, die in Ankyronon, einem Dorf des mittelagyptischen Gaues Herakleopolites, beheimatet waren. Die zugehorigen 19 Archivtexte (P. Vet. Aelii) erstrecken sich uber den Zeitraum vom Ende des 2. Bis zur Mitte des 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. Und werden teils in Erst-, teils in Neuedition vorgelegt. Diese Dokumente, die nicht nur aufgrund ihrer Zeitstellung, sondern auch ihrer Herkunft besonderes Interesse beanspruchen, dienen als Ausgangspunkt fur eine Darstellung der sozio-okonomischen Situation von Veteranen in Agypten und anderen Provinzen des Imperium Romanum sowie fur verwaltungs- und rechtshistorische Detailstudien; Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage Und Epigraphische Studien Band 48; 429 pages

THE DEFENSE OF ATTICA The Dema Wall and the Boiotian War of 378-375 B. C.

Very minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 259 pages; The enigmatic three-mile-long Dema wall in the countryside outside ancient Athens has perplexed archaeologists and historians for decades. When was it built and what role did it play in Greek military history? In a tour de force of archaeological and historical argument, Mark H. Munn establishes the place of the Dema wall in the defense of Athens and offers a completely new perspective on the Boiotian War. Since no ancient reference to the wall survives, scholars have contested the date and purpose of the wall's construction, placing it anywhere between the Geometric Age and Hellenistic eras. While directing the excavation of a watchtower above the wall, Munn's chance discovery of a datable sherd in the wall's remains fixed the date of the wall's construction at 378 B. C. , the onset of the three-year Boiotian War. Munn offers an absorbing narrative account of the war, and his descriptions and effective use of literary extracts render a vivid portrayal of the opposing generals, military tactics, and battle scenes.
