“I can envision this book as being helpful to a variety of
audiences, from students writing term papers to scholars trying to
stay abreast of the state of the field. The editor is to be
commended for gathering such a diverse and interesting collection
of essays and for breathing new life into a field that too many
have thought to be obsolete.” – Matthew A. Sears, UNB, AHBOR10
(2020) 43–46
“…this interesting volume examines ancient warfare from an
innovative and thought-provoking perspective... bring[s] to the
attention the possibilities involved in merging old and new
approaches in the fascinating field of ancient warfare studies.” -
The Classical Review, March 2021, pp. 1-3
“In sum, this excellent collection is full of insightful
contributions that do a wonderful job of conveying the vigour and
excitement of much new research on war and warfare in the ancient
Mediterranean, and this book deserves a wide audience.” – Conor
