Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From the first organized armies of Mesopotamia to the disciplined legions of Rome, weapons and armor shaped the rise of ancient civilizations, the outcome of battles, and the power of empires. Ancient warfare changed as societies learned to work bronze and iron, organize larger armies, strengthen defensive equipment, and develop new battlefield formations. Spears, bronze swords, shields, helmets, chariots, heavy infantry, cavalry, siege weapons, and artillery all played important roles in the long development of military technology. In this book you will find: - The origins of early weapons and organized ancient armies- Sumerian armies and the development of Mesopotamian warfare- Spears, bronze swords, shields, helmets, and other important weapons of the Bronze Age- The role of chariots and elite warriors in Bronze Age warfare- The transition from bronze weapons to iron and its effect on military power- Assyrian siege warfare and the growth of large imperial armies- Persian cavalry, military organization, and the challenges of controlling a vast empire- Ancient Greece, Greek hoplites, heavy infantry, and phalanx warfare- Spartan warfare, military training, and the importance of the spear and shield- Philip II, Alexander the Great, and the transformation of Greek warfare through the Macedonian phalanx and combined arms- Hellenistic weapons, armor, siege warfare, and battlefield innovation- Roman legionaries and the development of the Roman army- Roman army weapons including swords, javelins, shields, and artillery- Roman armor, helmets, discipline, logistics, fortifications, and military organization- The changing weapons and defenses of the later Roman army>From Sumerian soldiers and Bronze Age warriors to Greek hoplites and Roman legionaries, the history of ancient warfare reveals a constant relationship between technology, organization, discipline, and human experience. Changes in weapons and armor could alter battlefield tactics, while powerful states depended on training, supply systems, engineering, and military organization as much as individual weapons. Ancient Weapons and Armor presents the development of warfare across the ancient world through the weapons, soldiers, armies, and military systems that helped shape history.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A three title volume on warfare in the ancient worldNo student of warfare in the ancient world should be without Eugene S. McCartney's brilliant work on the subject. This book appears in its entirety as the first piece in this special Leonaur edition which also includes campaign and battlefield maps absent from other editions. McCartney's research is exemplary; he not only gives examples of every aspect of Roman and Greek military tactics, formation, organisation, logistics, engineering and weapons but also provides numerous examples of how and when they were employed-successfully or otherwise-by describing relevant campaigns and engagements. What makes this Leonaur volume particularly important for military historians is that reference is frequently made to Creasy's classic work on the fifteen most decisive battles in history. Five of these conflicts took place in the ancient period and Creasy's learned essays on these battles have been included here for easy reference when reading the principal text. Also cited in the principal text is Ralph Payne-Gallwey's work on ancient artillery, such as the balista and catapult; that, complete with its excellent and detailed line drawings, concludes an essential volume that will enhance any library on warfare in the ancient world. Recommended.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…
