"Brill's Companion to Aineias Tacticus is a collection of articles on the significance
of the earliest Greek handbook on military tactics. Aineias' (Aeneas) wrote his Poliorketika
in the mid-fourth century BC, offering a unique perspective on contemporary Greek
city-states, warfare and intellectual trends. We offer an introduction to Aineias
and his work, and then discuss the work's historical and intellectual context, his
qualities as a writer, and aspects of his work as a historical source for the Greek
polis of the fourth century BC. Several chapters discuss Aineias' approach to warfare,
specifically light infantry, mercenaries, naval operations, fortifications and technology.
Finally, we include a lengthy study of the reception of ancient military treatises,
specifically Aineias' Poliorketika, in the Byzantine period. Contributors are: Nick
Barley, Marco Bettalli, Ben Gourley, Robin Lane Fox, Peter Liddel, Maria Pretzler,
Philip Rance, Tracey Rihll, Jim Roy, Graham Shipley, Philip de Souza, José Vela Tejada,
and David Whitehead."--Provided by publisher
