Opis

In the ancient world, war played a crucial part in shaping and changing social and political structures. The impact of war on ancient society is the subject of this book and the companion volume, War and Society in the Greek World. Earlier studies of ancient warfare have concentrated on political causes, tactics, strategy and military organization. In these volumes warfare is viewed rather as a species of social action, affecting (and affected by) social conditions and ideologies, and having social, economic and cultural consequences.
