Edward Creasy, exploring the armed conflicts of Antiquity, defines his choice of the most important battles of this period of history by the fact that they allow us to consider in detail the large-scale picture of human development. The author analyzes the alignment of political forces at the time of the battle, tells about military leaders, commanders and naval commanders, about the weapons and tactics of the opponents, covers in detail the course of the battle itself and, finally, concludes about the significance of this war for the further course of history. In this book you will get acquainted with the dramatic collisions of the battles of Marathon and Metaurus, the defeat of Athens at Syracuse, the battle of Arbela (Gavgamela), learn about the victory of Arminius over the Roman legions of Varus in the Teutoburg forest. The Battle of Chalons (451) and the Battle of Tours (732) are also considered, since in the early Middle Ages, along with new elements, the principles of warfare, weapons and tactics adopted in Antiquity still prevail.
