Antiochus III campaigned, generally successfully, from the Mediterranean to India, earning the sobriquet 'the Great'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean Charl Du Plessis has produced the most in depth study available in English devoted to the troop types, weapons and armor of Antiochus' army. He combines the most recent historical research and latest archaeological evidence with a strong element of reconstructive archaeology, that is the making and using of replica equipment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSections cover the regular, Hellenistic-style core of the army, the auxiliaries from across the Empire and mercenaries, as well as the terror weapons of elephants and scythed chariots. Weapons and armor considered in great detail, including, for example, useful data on the performance of slings and the wounds they could inflict, drawing on modern testing and the author's own experience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe army's performance in its many battles, sieges and campaigns is analyzed and assessed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Charl Du Plessis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399091794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399091794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Jean Charl Du Plessis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049798660351,"sku":"9781399091794","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f89f3169-9722-4c36-adfd-eb2239b677e3.jpg?v=1685003516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-seleucid-army-of-antiochus-jean-charl-du-plessis-9781399091794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
