Summary note
This two volume publication explores the key factors determining the course and outcome of war in Late Antiquity. Volume 8.1 includes a detailed view of strategic and tactical issues and eight comprehensive bibliographic essays, which provide an overview of the literature. In volume 8.2, thematic papers examine strategy and intelligence, fortifications and siege warfare, weaponry and equipment, literary sources and topography, and civil war, while papers focused on particular geographic regions home in on war and warfare in the Western Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries, and the Balkans and the Eastern frontier in the 4th to 7th centuries AD.
