From Alexander to Adrianople 3000 BCE-400 CE
The ‘From Alexander to Adrianople, 3000 BCE to 400 CE’ book series explores the evolution of warfare and civilization, spanning from the earliest recorded battle at Megiddo (c. 1500 BCE) to the twilight of the Roman legion and the ascendancy of heavy cavalry in the 4th century CE. This extensive timeframe encompasses the rise and fall of civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, China, and Rome, alongside many other influential powers.
This period witnessed monumental advancements in military technology and the transformation of both tactical and strategic warfare. From the chariot and mounted archer to the dominance of heavy infantry phalanxes and eventually the legions of Rome, the evolution of warfare paralleled the growth of civilizations.
