Condition: New. Hardback 299 pages illustrated throughout in colourPublished Price £40 In antiquity, the Iberian Peninsula-encompassing modern Spain and Portugal-produced warrior cultures of considerable renown. Iberian, Celtiberian, and other regional peoples contributed elite infantry and cavalry to the Carthaginian armies that campaigned in Italy under Hannibal, and they demonstrated even greater ferocity in defending their homelands against subsequent Roman conquest. The Lusitanian resistance led by Viriathus, in particular, posed one of the most formidable challenges faced by Roman forces anywhere in the Mediterranean.In this volume, Professor Quesada Sanz offers a detailed and authoritative examination of the arms, armour, and equipment of the peninsula's diverse warrior groups, drawing on an exceptional command of current archaeological and historical research. His clear, analytically rigorous text is complemented by an extensive array of photographs, diagrams, and colour illustrations by Carlos Fernández del Castillo. The result is a rare synthesis of comprehensive scholarship and striking visual presentation, appealing to readers with an interest in ancient warfare, material culture, and military history.The original Spanish edition received the Hislibris Award for "Best Historical Book" in 2010, and it is presented here in a faithful and accessible English translation.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. La guerra constituyó un elemento primordial para las sociedades que habitaron la península ibérica durante la Protohistoria, un elemento que se proyectaba en múltiples dimensiones, desde la legitimación política y la afirmación étnica, a la actividad económica, la identidad individual o la transmisión de conocimientos. Es por ello que comprender lo bélico es ineludible para conocer la Antigüedad, y así dedicamos el tercer volumen de nuestros Cuadernos de Historia Militar a la guerra y los guerreros de la antigua Iberia. El desarrollo de la arqueología del conflicto y las modernas aproximaciones a la historia militar permiten superar las ajadas interpretaciones basadas en la lectura acrítica de las fuentes literarias grecorromanas, y posibilita ofrecer esta síntesis actualizada, en la que se dan la mano conocimiento arqueológico y análisis histórico para arrumbar tópicos repetidos ad nauseam como el de la sempiterna guerrilla. El volumen se estructura analizando las diferentes sociedades que poblaron la antigua Iberia, un mosaico de pueblos cuyas prácticas militares fueron diversas y cambiantes a lo largo del tiempo, desde la lucha de campeones a las batallas campales en orden cerrado, desde los certeros honderos baleares a los lusitanos ágiles como el viento, para desembocar en el servicio auxiliar hispano que nutrió las legiones de Roma. .

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This is an up-to-date and detailed, yet accessible, study of the weapons and armour of the Classical Greeks, Macedonians and Romans. Covering the period from the emergence of hoplite armies in Greece from the 8th century BC, through the Hellenistic age and down to the fall of the Western Roman empire in the 5th century AD, Professor Quesada Sanz traces the development of the three dominant military systems of the ancient Mediterranean world. He describes all aspects of offensive and defensive equipment in detail, based firmly in the archaeological evidence and explains their relationship to the context of evolving organization and tactics. As well as the obvious chapters on swords, spears, helmets, body armour and the like, there are sections on such subjects as, biological warfare, war elephants, horse tack and saddles, siege weapons and military signals and standards. The expert but highly readable text is supported by numerous diagrams, photographs and the lavish colour artwork of Carlos Fernandez del Castillo. This is both an excellent reference work and a visual delight.
