Naval Warfare and Maritime Conflict in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age Mediterranean: Ancient Warfare Series Volume 2: Culture and History of the Ancient Near East / Ancient Warfare, cartea 117
Autor Jeffrey P. Emanuelen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 noi 2020
There has traditionally been little differentiation between the methods of armed conflict engaged in during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, on both the coasts and the open seas, while polities have been alternately characterized as legitimate martial actors and as state sponsors of piracy. By utilizing material, documentary, and iconographic evidence and delineating between the many forms of armed conflict, Emanuel provides an up-to-date assessment not only of the nature and frequency of warfare, raiding, piracy, and other forms of maritime conflict in the Late Bronze Age and Late Bronze-Early Iron Age transition, but also of the extent to which modern views about this activity remain the product of inference and speculation.
