‎GROMATICA MILITARE: LO PS. IGINO. Prefazione, Testo, Traduzione E Commento‎

‎Bump to upper rear corner. Small chip to base of spine. ; This book aims at presenting military gromatic information from the only extent ancient author writing on those questions, ps. Hyginus (IIIth A. C. ) who wrote a work about metatio (land distribution to the troops of the Roman army). Several scholars studied this book until very recently, but generally misunderstood vital points. The present edition an Italian translation mainly studies linguistic questions in order to reassess the debated points: the groma’s dispositioning according to the symmetry; the right and left side of a camp’s map; the distribution of troops within the camp; the disposition of cohortes legionariae in front and of some troops in the central part of the camp; finally the fortifications in the form of a quarter of a cylinder (claviculae) , built out of the wall starting from the jamb of the four doors, and a small excavation next each of them (titulum). The present book studies the original text and meaning of the de metatione castrorum by proposing a new restitution and a critical apparatus, a translation, an exhaustive preface with explanations about linguistic and textual problems, a commentary, a chapter about the historical evolution of the text from the first edition to the present one and by a Tabula discrepantium. ; Collection Latomus Volume 339; 269 pages; Isbn: 9782870312857.

‎THE SHADOW OF SPARTA‎

‎Inscribed in pen to Mark Golden by Stephen Hodkinson on ffep. Light shelfwear. ; 408 pages; The past 20 years have witnessed a revival of interest in the study of Sparta. The early 20th-century images of Spartans as hearty good fellows or scarlet-cloaked automata, have been superceded by more complex scholarly interpretations of this obscure civilization. The mystery surrounding Sparta has been instrumental in shaping scholarship on the subject. Historians have taken as much interest in the myths and disinformation attached to Sparta as they have in the truth about their city-state. The studies in this volume provide insights into the traditional question of what actually happened at Sparta. Yet the implications of this work go far beyond Laconia to focus on some of the most studied of Greek writers, showing how Athenians defined the achievement, or the failure, of their own city. ; Signed by One Author‎

It looks at its prime characteristics, including mobility, protection, armament, training, leadership, flexibility, and motivation. Until now, it was generally assumed that ancient Greek cavalry was subordinated to the infantry because it was less effective in battle. This book challenges this assumption, analyzing the position of Greek cavalry, and especially the Athenian arm, not only in the battlefield but in society as a whole.‎

‎CICERO AND THE CATILINARIAN CONSPIRACY‎

‎Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; Routledge Studies in Ancient History, Vol. 1; 118 pages; This story of Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy is set within and offers a case study of the political, military, economic and social crises besetting the late Roman Republic in the era of the "Roman Revolution." The book chronicles the efforts of the defeated radical politician Lucius Sergius Catilina to bring together a group of disaffected Roman nobles and discontented Italian farmers in a conspiracy to overthrow the republican government at Rome and to take control of the Italian peninsula (while the proconsul Pompey the Great and the majority of Roman military units were campaigning in the Near East) , and the success of the conservative optimate consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in uncovering the conspiracy, driving Catiline out of Rome, and defeating his revolutionary followers in the capital and in Etruria. The narrative reveals the political corruption, economic problems, and military instability which were leading to the demise of the republican system and the rise of an imperial government in the first century B. C. The author’s comprehensive knowledge of the ancient sources and the modern scholarship relevant to the last century of the republic has allowed him to offer a detailed and definitive account of this important episode in Roman history. In the same seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis through which he enlightened the Roman imperial age of Constantine, Dr. Odahl here illuminates the Roman republican era of Cicero. This book is a significant publication in Ciceronian studies and will become the standard account of the Catilinarian Conspiracy.‎

‎THE ROMAN CAVALRY From the First to the Third Century A. D.‎

‎Book is fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ; The cavalry was a vital part of the army of Rome and it played a significant role in the expansion and success of the Roman Empire. The authors describe the origins of the mounted units of the Roman army and trace their development from temporary allied troops to the regular alae and cohorts. The book covers the subject from the perspective of both the men and the horses. How were the horses selected and disposed of; how were they trained, stabled and fed? How were the men recruited, organized and equipped; and what were the conditions of service for a Roman cavalryman? The cavalry had to be employed in peacetime and this is discussed as well as its role in war. This book provides a comprehensive account of the Roman cavalry and the current state of knowledge concerning it. The wide selection of illustrations includes original drawings by Karen R. Dixon. ; 256 pages‎

‎BATTLE AND BATTLE DESCRIPTION HOMER A Contribution to the History of War‎

‎Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 224 pages; Acknowledging that Homer is a poet, not a staff instructor, Albracht works carefully through the Homeric text to produce a persuasive picture of the workings of battle in the Iliad, in two parts: in Part I the council of war, marshalling of the troops, the use of chariots, the advance into battle, the standing fight, the massed attack and defence, retreat, flight and pursuit; in Part II protection in the field, attack and defence of a fortified camp, and the siege and defence of a fortified city. Throughout, he offers the reader fascinating explanations of the details of the battle narrative.‎

‎THE ART OF WAR Sun Tzu‎

‎Light creasing and rubbing to wraps. Foxing to textblock. Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). ; Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, The Art of War is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world today, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it as been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, The Art of War applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. This translation presents the classic from the point of view of its background in the great spiritual tradition of Taoism, the origin of psychology, science, and technology in East Asia and the source of the insights into human nature that underlie this most revered of handbooks for success. Translated from a standard collection of commentaries on Sun Tzu's text by eleven interpreters, the work has been edited by Thomas Cleary to bring out the meaning of the principles of strategy. In addition, the translator provides an extensive introduction discussing the content and background of the book. ; 184 pages‎
