Condition: New. Hardback 299 pages illustrated throughout in colour In antiquity, the Iberian Peninsulaâ"encompassing modern Spain and Portugalâ"produced warrior cultures of considerable renown. Iberian, Celtiberian, and other regional peoples contributed elite infantry and cavalry to the Carthaginian armies that campaigned in Italy under Hannibal, and they demonstrated even greater ferocity in defending their homelands against subsequent Roman conquest. The Lusitanian resistance led by Viriathus, in particular, posed one of the most formidable challenges faced by Roman forces anywhere in the Mediterranean.In this volume, Professor Quesada Sanz offers a detailed and authoritative examination of the arms, armour, and equipment of the peninsulaâs diverse warrior groups, drawing on an exceptional command of current archaeological and historical research. His clear, analytically rigorous text is complemented by an extensive array of photographs, diagrams, and colour illustrations by Carlos Fernández del Castillo. The result is a rare synthesis of comprehensive scholarship and striking visual presentation, appealing to readers with an interest in ancient warfare, material culture, and military history.The original Spanish edition received the Hislibris Award for âBest Historical Bookâ in 2010, and it is presented here in a faithful and accessible English translation.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La guerra constituyó un elemento primordial para las sociedades que habitaron la península ibérica durante la Protohistoria, un elemento que se proyectaba en múltiples dimensiones, desde la legitimación política y la afirmación étnica, a la actividad económica, la identidad individual o la transmisión de conocimientos. Es por ello que comprender lo bélico es ineludible para conocer la Antigüedad, y así dedicamos el tercer volumen de nuestros Cuadernos de Historia Militar a la guerra y los guerreros de la antigua Iberia. El desarrollo de la arqueología del conflicto y las modernas aproximaciones a la historia militar permiten superar las ajadas interpretaciones basadas en la lectura acrítica de las fuentes literarias grecorromanas, y posibilita ofrecer esta síntesis actualizada, en la que se dan la mano conocimiento arqueológico y análisis histórico para arrumbar tópicos repetidos ad nauseam como el de la sempiterna guerrilla. El volumen se estructura analizando las diferentes sociedades que poblaron la antigua Iberia, un mosaico de pueblos cuyas prácticas militares fueron diversas y cambiantes a lo largo del tiempo, desde la lucha de campeones a las batallas campales en orden cerrado, desde los certeros honderos baleares a los lusitanos ágiles como el viento, para desembocar en el servicio auxiliar hispano que nutrió las legiones de Roma.
