Edward Creasy, in his study of the armed conflicts of Antiquity, defines his choice of the most important battles of this period of history by the fact that they allow us to examine in detail the large-scale picture of humanity's development. The author analyzes the balance of political forces at the time of the battle, tells about the commanders, generals and naval leaders, about the weapons and tactics of the opponents, covers in detail the course of the battle itself and, finally, concludes on the significance of this war for the further course of history. In this book you will get acquainted with the dramatic collisions of the battles of Marathon and Metaurus, the defeat of Athens at Syracuse, the battle of Arbela (Gavgamela), learn about the victory of Arminius over the Roman legions of Varus in the Teutoburg Forest. The Battle of Chalon (451) and the Battle of Tours (732) are also covered, as the principles of warfare, armament, and tactics adopted in Antiquity still prevail in the Early Middle Ages, along with new elements.
