Uniforms of the Ancient Greek World, An Illustrated Encyclopedia of: A detailed study of the fighting men of Classical Greece and the Ancient World, ... military dress, weapons, ships and artillery

Beautifully illustrated and covering the ancient armies from the Middle East, this book is a must for anyone interested in that period. This very detailed handsomely illustrated volume will be useful as a reference source to many including wargamers. It's a worthy companion to the book on Roman Uniforms from the same publishers. Well worth the price.

While the book says that it covers the Greek world, it covers way more such as the Trojan War, Hittites, Sumerians, Egyptians, Persian and Macedonian Armies for example. The periods covered are from roughly1200 BC to the start of Rome's expansion eastwards after the Punic Wars.

I bought this book for a present and when reading review on site I bought one myself.Great content and pictures, brings the military uniforms and styles to life.As an ancient toy soldier gamer the colours and options allow me to authentically bring my models to life. The historical is not missed either giving a timeline of events within the Roman world that shaped warfare.I would recommend this book to anyone who is into ancient history.
