This is a current and detailed, yet easily understandable study of the weapons and armour of the classical Greeks, Macedonians and Romans. Professor Quesada Sanz traces the development of the three dominant military systems of the ancient Mediterranean world, beginning with the emergence of hoplite armies in Greece in the 8th century BC, through the Hellenistic period, to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. He describes in detail all aspects of offensive and defensive equipment, based on archaeological finds, and explains their connection to the developing organisation and tactics. In addition to the obvious chapters on swords, spears, helmets, body armour and the like, there are sections on topics such as biological warfare, war elephants, horse harnesses and saddles, siege weapons, and military signals and standards. The expert but highly readable text is complemented by numerous diagrams, photographs and elaborate colour illustrations by Carlos Fernandez del Castillo. The book is both an excellent reference work and a visual delight.
