Openly autocratic, Commodus compromised the privileges and vested interests of the senatorial clique, who therefore plotted to murder him.

Valentian was proclaimed Roman Emperor in AD 364, when the Empire was reeling from the disastrous defeat and death in battle of Julian the Apostate (363) and the short reign of his murdered successor, Jovian (364). With the Empire weakened and vulnerable to a victorious Persia in the East and opportunistic Germanic tribes along the Rhine, not to mention rebellions within, it was not an enviable position. Valentian decided the responsibility had to be divided and appointed his brother as his co-emperor to rule the eastern half of the Empire. Valens is most remembered for his mistreatment of the Goths who sought refuge within the Empire's borders from the westward-moving Huns. This led to his death at the Battle of Adrianople in 378.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668665794859,"sku":"14048","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"military-activities-in-medieval-assam","title":"MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN MEDIEVAL ASSAM","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e B C Kalita\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daya Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e xvi + 176pp, maps - inc extending maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good in dw\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDustjacket as small piece missing on spine.

At the height of his powers, he challenged growing Roman might, but his expeditionary force was crushed at Thermopyla and he was finally decisively defeated at the epic battle of Magnesia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668699447595,"sku":"14101","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/antiochus-the-great-by-michael-taylor-new-2013-1st-edition-hardback-dj_14101_main_original.jpg?v=1791234190"},{"product_id":"hannibals-last-battle-zama-and-the-fall-of-carthage","title":"HANNIBAL'S LAST BATTLE: ZAMA AND THE FALL OF CARTHAGE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brian Todd Carey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2007\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204pp, 29 maps, 22 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signs of use.

The Romans under Scipio Africanus won a bloody, decisive victory over Hannibal's Carthaginians. Scipio's victory signalled a shift in the balance of power in the ancient world. This compelling reconstruction of the battle, and of the gruelling war that led up to it, gives a fascinating insight into the Carthaginian and Roman methods of waging war, and offers a critical assessment of the contrasting qualities and leadership styles of Hannibal and Scipio, the two most celebrated commanders of their age.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668699480363,"sku":"14102","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"twilight-of-the-hellenistic-world","title":"TWILIGHT OF THE HELLENISTIC WORLD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mike Roberts  and  Bob Bennett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 187pp, 20 b\/w illustrations, 5 maps, 12 battle plans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e very good in plastic covered d\/w\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book analyses the complex series of conflicts between the Hellenistic Successor states (fragments of Alexander the Great’s short-lived empire) in the generation before the Romans intervened in the region.

Mercenaries were a significant factor in many of the wars of the Classical world, being employed in large numbers by several states. The most famous were Xenophon’s ‘Ten Thousand’, who had to cut their way out of the Persian Empire after the death of their employer. Greek infantry were for long the most dominant type, but some, such as Celts and Thracians were hired largely for their love of fighting. Others like Cretan archers or slingers from Rhodes and the Balearic Islands, were valued for their specialist skills.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67669429715243,"sku":"16602","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"chariot-the-rise-fall-of-the-1st-war-machine-by-arthur-cotterell-new-2004-1st-ed-hb","title":"Chariot, The Rise \u0026 Fall of the 1st War Machine by Arthur Cotterell: NEW 2004 1st Ed.HB","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arthur Cotterell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pimlico Publications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344pp illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old \u003cstrong\u003eNEW\u003c\/strong\u003e Stock, Fine\/Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOLD NEW STOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e: Refers to an item which, for whatever reasons, has not been offered for sale from the date of publication to the date of this listing.

Its use as a war machine is graphically recounted in Indian epics and Chinese chronicles. Homer's Iliad tells of the attack on Troy by Greek heroes who rode in chariots.

Furthermore, any interest in Brutus has tended to focus only on events surrounding his most legendary act, Caesar's murder. This biography instead considers Brutus in his historical context, gathering details from ancient evidence and piecing together, as far as possible, his whole life. While his actions played a pivotal role in Roman history, ultimately, although completely unintentionally, bringing about the downfall of the Roman republic, Brutus has often been neglected. Indeed, he has rarely been considered on his own merits, instead featuring as part of the biographies and studies of other leading political figures of the time, especially those of Julius Caesar, Cicero and Octavian. As the first dedicated biography in over 30 years, this full and balanced reconsideration of this significant Roman republican is long overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67669631238443,"sku":"16801","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/brutus-caesar-s-assassin-by-kirsty-corrigan-new-2015-1st-edition-hardback_16801_main_original.jpg?v=1791248671"},{"product_id":"the-roman-barbarian-wars","title":"THE ROMAN BARBARIAN WARS","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ludwig Heinrich Dyck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear published:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238pp, 5 maps, 16 colour \u0026amp; b\/w illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good in plastic covered d\/w\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Rome grew from a small city state to the mightiest empire of the west, her dominion was contested not only by the civilizations of the Mediterranean, but also by the ‘barbarians’ – the tribal peoples of Europe.

It tells the story of an espionage operation in Elizabethan London that was designed to find out what side France would take in the hostilities between Protestant England and the Catholic powers of Europe. France was a Catholic country whose king was nonetheless hostile to Spanish and papal aggression, Bossy explains, but the king's sister-in-law, Mary Queen of Scots, in custody in England since 1568, was a magnet for Catholic activists, and the French ambassador in London, Michel de Castelnau, was of uncertain leanings. Bossy relates how Queen Elizabeth's Secretary of State, Sir Francis Walsingham, found a mole in Castelnau's household establishment, who passed information to someone in Walsingham's employ. Bossy discovers the identity of these persons, what items of intelligence were passed over, and what the English government decided to do with the information. He describes how individuals were arrested or fled, a political crisis occurred, an ambassador was expelled, deals were made. He concludes with a discussion of the authenticity of Elizabethan secret operations, arguing that they were not theatrical devices to prop up an unpopular regime but were a response to genuine threats of counter-revolution inspired by Catholic zeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671945412907,"sku":"18655","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/under-the-molehill---an-elizabethan-spy-story-by-john-bossy-new-2001-hardback_18655_main_original.jpg?v=1791258918"},{"product_id":"king-alfred-the-great-warrior-law-giver-scholar-by-ap-smyth-new-1995-1st-ed-hardback","title":"King Alfred The Great; Warrior, Law-giver \u0026 Scholar by AP Smyth: NEW 1995 1st Ed.Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Alfred P Smyth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: 1995, Oxford University Press\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination: 744\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: Hardback + DJ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Old NEW Stock with slight shelf\/handling wear to DJ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1st Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarrior, law-giver, and scholar, Alfred the Great was an extraordinarily gifted and highly successful king, pushing back the Vikings to preserve what is now thought of as the heart of England. In this, the first major study of King Alfred since Plummer's biography of 1902, the career of King Alfred is followed chronologically and examined in depth. In a detailed examination of the much-disputed medieval biography of King Alfred, attributed to the king's tutor, Asser, the author argues that Asser's Life is a medieval forgery; a revelation with profound implications for our understanding of the whole of Anglo-Saxon history.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book also contains major studies on the writings of this gifted king, the controversial charters of his reign, and on the origins of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle. The author shows the Chronicle to have been much more closely connected with the court of King Alfred than has hitherto been allowed, and suggests a new date for the completion of the earliest Alfredian section of the Chronicle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67672014127403,"sku":"18784","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/king-alfred-the-great-warrior-law-giver-scholar-by-ap-smyth-new-1995-1st-ed-hardback_18784_main_original.jpg?v=1791259840"},{"product_id":"roman-britain-life-in-an-imperial-province-by-keith-branigan-1980-first-edition-hardback","title":"Roman Britain, Life in an Imperial Province by Keith Branigan: 1980 First Edition Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Professor Keith Branigan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: 1980, The Reader's Digest Association Ltd.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination: 320\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: Hardback + DJ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very good, apart from the DJ which has suffered from the teeth of some creature; boards not effected, however.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1st Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForeword by Professor Barry Cunliffe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull of fascinating information about Roman civilization in Britain from the initial probing by Julius Caesar in 55\/54 BC to its end when Honorius wrote his letter telling the Briton’s to look to their own defence. This book is very comprehensive and well-illustrated and a detailed overview of Roman Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67672014586155,"sku":"18785","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/roman-britain-life-in-an-imperial-province-by-keith-branigan-1980-first-edition-hardback_18785_main_original.jpg?v=1791259848"},{"product_id":"the-world-encyclopedia-of-model-soldiers-by-john-garratt-new-1981-first-edition-hardback","title":"The World Encyclopedia of Model Soldiers by John Garratt: NEW 1981 First Edition Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: John G Garrett\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: 1981, Fredrick Muller Ltd\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination: 209\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: Hardback + DJ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Old new stock, expect an item that may have been in stock for some time which is undamaged, with minimal wear perhaps some slight spotting or foxing and minimal fading to the cover, see pictures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully returnable if unhappy with the condition. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67672092016939,"sku":"19177","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/the-world-encyclopedia-of-model-soldiers-by-john-garratt-new-1981-first-edition-hardback_19177_main_original.jpg?v=1791262393"}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/collections\/ancient-warfare.oembed","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
