It covers the classical period between 1600BC and 800AD in a very organised and readable way. Each period is prefaced with the heading "Ancient Authorities" and outlines where the following information is sourced. Then the period is discussed in flowing narrative which highlights the key personalities and events of the time along with an indepth look at the mechanics of warfare. The strategy and tactics presented is blended nicely with the historical discussion. The numerous battle maps and accompanying data are a treasure for the military, history and wargaming buffs. The artwork throughout is first class as are the maps. I particularly like the full page colour depictions of combatants from different armies with detailed explanatory notes, some of the best I've seen. I found the middle part of the book focussed a little more heavily on the historical aspect. It did not contain as many battle maps as the first and latter part did, and I found myself flicking ahead to see when I would reach one of the battle descriptions and maps. In summary, this is a terrific encyclopedia and ranks as one of the nicest books I have seen on the subject. Superb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Especially for Adults or Children Interested in the Ancient World and It's Warfare *by on Reviewed in the United States December 1, 2013* Good illustrations, maps, and explanation of ancient warfare as waged by Greeks, Romans, and their chief foes.Were this an American book, it would often be superbly organized but short on content.This book seems to have sprung from the UK. Like many English books, it is content-packed but its organization does not always make clear which principles of war it lays out or why it lays them out.Seems a Golden Mean is lacking, yet this book is really tops for pictures, dates, and many of its explanations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting and insightful *by on Reviewed in the United States December 17, 2018* Because of reading some historical fiction about Roman legions, I wanted to verify that the fiction writer had portrayed the Roman army as it really was. After reading this book, I'm confident the fiction writer did. In addition to army information, the book also contains fascinating discussions of both Greek and Roman navies.Well organized, well written, and especially well illustrated. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705529-warfare-in-the-classical-world-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-of-weapons](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705529-warfare-in-the-classical-world-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-of-weapons) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
