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. 410 0$aBrill's companions in classical studies. 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aSiege warfare$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aEngines of war$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory 615 0$aSiege warfare 615 0$aEngines of war 676 $a355.44 702 $aBarley$b Nick$cPh.D., 702 $aPretzler$b Maria 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796559803321 996 $aBrill's companion to Aineias Tacticus$91760438 997 $aUNINA
