About This Item
Barnsley: Pen and Sword, 2012. 1st edition. New Book. octavo. dust jacket 227pp., b/w pls., maps, appends., bibliog., index, ÔAelian s work on tactics is a hugely significant piece of ancient military literature. Although writing (in his native Greek) in the 2nd century AD, Aelian drew heavily on earlier works, such as Asclepiodotus, to put together a comprehensive manual of warfare in the Hellenistic period (late 3rd to early 1st centuries BC). His Tactica thus examines all facets of warfare in the period of Alexander the GreatÕs successors, including the arms & armour of cavalry & infantry, formations, commands & signals. Aelian also provides a discussion of the Roman army of the period.Õ Inc. parts of original Greek text
