Edited by T. Ñaco del Hoyo and F. López Sánchez, this volume presents the proceedings from an ICREA Conference held in Barcelona (2013), addressing the connection between war, warlords and interstate relations from classical studies and social sciences perspectives. Some twenty scholars from European, Japanese and North American Universities consider the scope of ‘multipolarity’ and the usefulness of ‘warlord’, a modern category, in order to feature some ancient military and political leaderships.Impact of Empire (Roman Empire, c. 200 B.C.-A.D. 476) (Series) ;28.Mediterranean RegionHistoryTo 476CongressesRomeHistoryRepublic, 510-265 B.CCongressesRomeHistoryRepublic, 265-30 B.CCongressesGreeceHistoryTo 146 B.CCongresses327.0937Ñaco del Hoyo ToniLópez Sánchez Fernando1974-Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821911903321War, warlords, and interstate relations in the ancient Mediterranean1546637UNINA
