Featuring 600+ commissioned illustrations and expert research, it reveals the evolution of warfare from Sumerian chariots to Alexander the Great’s phalanx, making it an essential resource for history buffs, wargamers, and collectors alike. ## Description A detailed study of the fighting men of Classical Greece and the Ancient World, including Sumerians, Assyrians, Hittites, Egyptians, Mycenaeans, Spartans, Persians and Macedonians. This military history of the ancient peoples of the Middle East encompasses the rise, the rule and the decline and fall of a succession of great empire-builders – from the Sumerians and Akkadians in the 23rd century BCE to the Macedonians led by Alexander the Great in c.330BCE. In the course of these millennia, great military minds developed the war chariot, the cavalry charge of mounted soldiers, the fierce and disciplined infantry formations of the Greek or Macedonian phalanx; they invented the siege tower, battering ram, onager catapult and other tools used to gain entry to a heavily fortified city. Fighting men wielded dagger, sword, bow and arrows, hammer, pike, spear and the 20ft (6m) sarissa used by the Macedonians; they and their leaders developed body armour, greaves, helmets and a variety of shields to protect themselves. In tactics, clothing, weaponry and other equipment of war, military men learned from both their allies and their enemies as they searched for the improvements that would give them the edge when they most needed it – in battle. This book details the costume of the ancient Greek armies and its enemies, from the first decades of tribal battles through the Peloponnesian wars, up to the end of Alexander’s eastern Empire. A detailed and accessible visual study of the fighting dress and arms of the period, it is also a glimpse of the complexity in a vast period and area. The volume explores the arms, armour and military clothing of some of the great ancient peoples: the Sumerians, the Hittites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Persians and the Macedonians. A very large number of peoples – many of them nomads – came into decisive contact with these eight kingdoms, including Scythians, Phrygians, Hebrews, the Sea Peoples, the Mitanni and the Medes. Two vast empires, those of the Persians under the Achaemenid dynasty and the Macedonians led by Alexander the Great, arose on opposite sides of the ancient world. They came into deadly contact after the Persians had twice attempted and twice failed to invade Greece; and after the Macedonians had conquered Greece in the aftermath of that great clash of civilizations. Alexander took over the Persian empire that Cyrus the Great had built, but then his empire in turn lost its own landholding to internal squabbles and settlements, to be finally overcome by that great behemoth of the ancient world, Rome. With evocative fine art paintings and sculptures and the 600 specially commissioned illustrations, this lavish, intensively researched volume offers an unprecedented study of the uniforms of the period. Review: Reference and fun - 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. Review: Another worthy addition to the series - 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. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 110,048 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 269 in Military & Naval Technology 808 in Scientific History & Philosophy 961 in Encyclopaedias (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 57 Reviews | ## Images ![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 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O22CLwU+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reference and fun *by C***L on 11 August 2024* I bought this book for a present and when reading review on site I bought one myself.

Well worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book *by G***R on 27 August 2024* 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 roughly 1200 BC to the start of Rome's expansion eastwards after the Punic Wars. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Uniforms of the Roman World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/530373794-uniforms-of-the-ancient-greek-world-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-detailed](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/530373794-uniforms-of-the-ancient-greek-world-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-detailed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
