Besieged: Siege Warfare in the Ancient World

Description

Osprey Publishing Description:

“Sieges played a central role in many conflicts of the ancient world, and generals such as Darius, Alexander the Great, Hannibal and Scipio Africanus successfully used siegecraft to gain their objectives. As siege tactics became an integral part of war, generals employed the minds of engineers and scientists to develop tactics that ranged from penetrating the defences or blockading the city through tricks and deception. This fascinating book explores the development of siege warfare in the ancient world from Ancient Persia in the 6th century BC to the 4th century Roman World, examining the techniques and weapons on this period. Combines material previously published as Elite 121: Ancient Siege Warfare Elite126: Siege Warfare in the Roman World 146 BC-AD 378, New Vanguard 78: Greek and Roman Siege Machinery 399 BC-AD 363.”

Reviews:

"This fascinating title examines the techniques and weapons used during the sieges in Ancient world. This book explores the development of siege warfare from Persia in the 6th century BC to the 4th century Roman world...illustrated with maps, photographs and drawings."


"Lavishly illustrated, this is the best work so far on this fascinating part of ancient warfare and is an essential read for anyone interested in the distant past. Lik all Osprey titles, it is highly recommended and one that you will find as fascinating as did I."


"This well illustrated book is a must for anyone interested in siege warfare."
