Remarks on Recent Ancient Warfare Research: the Sum of Efforts or Failure
Original language description
Research on ancient warfare, weaponry, and the warrior condition in the Mediterranean region necessarily involves the study of the Greekworld. This field should be a subject to an analysis of archaeological, iconographic, and historical data, and should even have the ability to consider otheraspects, hitherto little dealt with, such as technological, ergonomic or symbolic ones. Although this seems obvious, it is far from the usual practice. Thispaper focusses on the example of ancient warfare studies, in order to drawattention to the frequent failure by literature-based historians to give properweight to the rapidly increasing evidence provided by archaeological discoveries and studies, though the failures are not entirely one-sided. By proposing this reflection, we aim to stimulate discussion on this topic and, muchmore importantly, to motivate scholars to join forces and seek the necessarymeans of collaboration.
