The book?s main goal is to provide a critical overview of current research as well as new insights into the role of military organization as a distinct form of social power in one of history?s more long-lived empires. The various chapters consider the political, ideological, practical, institutional and organizational aspects of Byzantine warfare and place it at the centre of the study of social and cultural history. Contributors are Salvatore Cosentino, Michael Gru?nbart, Savvas Kyriakidis, Tilemachos Lounghis, Christos Makrypoulias, Stamatina McGrath, Philip Rance, Paul Stephenson, Yannis Stouraitis, Denis Sullivan, and Georgios Theotokis. 410 0$aBrill's Companions to the Byzantine World$v3. 606 $aMilitary art and science 607 $aByzantine Empire$xHistory, Military 615 0$aMilitary art and science. 676 $a306.270949509021 700 $aYannis Stouraitis (Volume Editor)$01688780 702 $aStouraitis$b Yannis 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808123103321 996 $aA Companion to the Byzantine Culture of War, circa 300-1204$94063307 997 $aUNINA
