Hardback. Condition: New. Three tactical treatises.Aeneas was perhaps a general, and certainly author of several didactic military works of which the sole survivor is that on defense against siege. From it we can deduce that he was a Peloponnesian of the fourth century BC who served in the Aegean and in Asia Minor and composed t…he work from direct knowledge and from oral and some literary tradition, possibly in 357-6 BC. It is devoted entirely to defense of fortified places and deals specially with use of defending troops; defensive positions; morale; resistance to attacks and to actual assault; guards; obviation of treachery and revolution; and other subjects.Asclepiodotus, philosopher and pupil of the Stoic Posidonius, wrote a rather dry but ordered work on tactics as if a subject of the lecture room, based not on personal experience but on earlier manuals. His main subjects were the branches of a military force; infantry; cavalry; chariots; elephants; arms; maneuvers; military evolutions; marching formation. The work ends with words of command.Onasander (Onasandros), a Platonic philosopher, dedicated his work "The General" to the Roman Veranius, who was a consul in AD 49. The work deals in plain style with the sort of morals and social and military qualities and attitudes expected of a virtuous and militarily successful general. It is also concerned with such matters as his choice of staff; attitude to war; religious duties; military formations; conduct in allied and hostile lands; difficult terrains; camps; drill; spies; guards; deserters; battle formations and maneuvers; and other matters, ending with conduct after victory.

Paperback. Condition: New. Aineias Tacticus (mid-fourth century BC) is not only the earliest but also one of the most historically interesting of ancient military writers. Important, too, as a social commentator, he sheds valuable light on the nature of life and the psychological and strategic preoccupations of a typical Greek c…ity-state (polis) at a time dominated by two extraordinarily atypical ones, Athens and Sparta. In Aineias' work we see what conditions were like in a polis obliged to play a minor and much more passive role in the history of its age - not laying siege like the big players but suffering it. His practical recommendations derive clearly from accumulated personal experience in the first place; but at the same time he also draws copious illustrative material from both Herodotus and Thucydides. This edition has the Greekless reader firmly in mind, providing a fresh modern translation of "How to Survive Under Siege", a comprehensive introduction to Aineias and his work, and a full historical commentary.

Sterck & De Vreese, n.p., 2025. 155p. 2 B&W maps. Paperback. Zo?n 2500 jaar geleden verscheen het eerste militaire handboek uit de Europese literatuur, een ?doe-het-zelf-boek? over oorlog. Ene Aeneas (Grieks: ???????, Aineias) componeerde In staat van beleg. Het leert hoe men de bevolking rustig houdt, een burgermilitie organise…ert, en het behandelt de nieuwste technologieën van die tijd: hoe saboteert men een stadspoort, schrijft men geheimtaal, en bouwt men een brandbom? Deze leerzame instructies worden afgewisseld met revolutionaire listen. Wie zijn tegenstanders belegert, doet dat immers met behulp van verraders van binnenuit. In staat van beleg van Aeneas Tacticus hoort thuis in het rijtje van boeken over strategie en tactiek van bijvoorbeeld Macchiavelli en Sun Tzu. Maar Aeneas? werk biedt ook tientallen fascinerende anekdotes en een unieke inkijk in de dagelijkse realiteit in het Griekenland van de vierde eeuw voor Christus, waarin oorlog een vaststaand onderdeel was van het leven. (Publisher's information).
