"Brill's Companion to Sieges in the Ancient Mediterranean is a wide-ranging exploration
of sieges and siege warfare as practiced and experienced by the cultures which lived
around the ancient Mediterranean basin. From Pharaonic Egypt to Renaissance Italy,
and from the Neo-Assyrian Empire to Hellenistic Greece and Roman Gaul, case studies
by leading experts probe areas of both synergy and divergence within this distinctive
form of warfare amongst the cultures in this broadly shared environment"
