The Army of the Bosporan KingdomSecondary Title
Studies on the History of the Ancient & Mediaeval Art of WarfareDescription
The edge of the Greek world was the northern shore of the Pontus Euxenius (Black Sea) and its impact was evident in the political, economic and cultural features of Bosporan society. The Army of the Bosporan Kingdom uses evidence gathered from Bosporan tomb paintings, funerary stelai , terracotta figurines and representations on coins to demonstrate the interaction particularly between the Scythians and the Greeks (but also the Sindians and Maeotians) in the context of their warfare traditions. The evolution of weapons used, and the organisation of the army, is evident from the artefacts discussed. The discussion is accompanied by many useful illustrationsCategory
