Golenko, “Notes on the coinage and currency of the early Seleucid state,” in: Mesopotamia 28 (1993) 71-167
Murray Dahm continues his series “Be a General” with his second article on Vegetius, and this issue ends with five pages of reviews.Īll in all, I greatly enjoyed this issue and if you haven’t got a subscription yet, you can go here. This time, Svenja Grosser has a fine article on amphitheaters for gladiatoral shows near military bases, while Raffaele D’Amato describes a navy carpenter, whose dead body was found near Herculaneum (beautiful drawing by Graham Sumner). But that’s just a minor point of criticism this issue was, as always, nice to read.Īs always, Ancient Warfare has some articles unrelated to the main theme. Some of the articles in Ancient Warfare have in the past addressed this subject (e.g., an article on the portrayal of mercenaries in Greek comedies), but in my opinion, this may be a bit more.
Personally, I would like to know more about the economic base of ancient warfare and social attitudes towards violence.
