O’Brien Stephen (ed.). Warfare and Society in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean

BAR Publishing, 2013. — 107 p.The study of violence and warfare is one of the oldest preoccupations of humankind, with early written sources often approaching the subject as myth or historical narrative. Both archaeologists and military historians have, therefore, endeavoured to contextualise warfare with reference to the broader themes of their respective disciplines. This book includes eight papers arising from a colloquium on Warfare and Society in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean held at the University of Liverpool, 13th June 2008.
