	Warfare in Ancient Greece \| Thematic Essay \| Timeline of Art History \| The Metropolitan Museum of Art
		Death, Burial, and the Afterlife in Ancient Greece
		The heavy bronze shield, which was secured on the left arm and hand by a metal band on its inner rim, was the most important part of a hoplite's panoply, as it was his chief defense.
		In nearly every medium of Attic art of the sixth century B.C., the hoplite and warfare feature prominently, as military service was a primary distinction of citizenship—a mark of status and often of wealth, as well as a means of attaining glory.

	Ancient warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancient warfare is war as conducted from the beginnings of recorded history to the end of the ancient period.
		Warfare became more intense, ruthless and much more decisive during the Warring States Period, in which great social and political change was accompanied by the end of the system of chariot warfare and the adoption of mass infantry armies.
		This pattern of warfare was broken during the Peloponnesian War, when Athens's command of the sea allowed the city to ignore the destruction of the Athenian crops by Sparta and her allies by shipping grain into the city from the Crimea.

	Guerrilla warfare - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Guerrilla warfare is one of the oldest forms of asymmetric warfare.
		While "asymmetric warfare" is the military term for guerrilla tactics, in present times when abhorent tactics are commonly used, it is often referred to in the pejorative as "terrorism".
		Guerrillas are in danger of not being recognized as lawful combatants because they may not wear a uniform, (to mingle with the local population), or their uniform and distinctive emblems may not be recognised as such by their opponents.

	Ancient Celtic Warfare
		The ancient Celtic warriors engaged their enemy as if they would defeat them simply by overrunning them, trusting their brute force more than elaborate tactics and clever strategies.
		In battles, the Celts also made use of what has been dubbed "psychological warfare." Before actually engaging the enemy, they are said to having made a horrible noise by clashing their weapons against their shields, crying and singing, with horns (carnyx) being blown and maybe drums being beaten.
		Evidently, to actually defeat the Celts was not as easy as the ancient historians wanted their readers to believe, since quite a number of reports tell us that the Celts continued to fight valiantly to the end, even when the battle already was lost.

	Siege Warfare in Ancient Egypt
		It is clear that the Egyptians did posses the means to conduct siege warfare, though in reality, like other powers in the region such as the Assyrian, they tried to avoid this type of battle where possible.
		While some of the Lower Egyptian towns were besieged, Piye decided against this in the case of Memphis after Tefnakht had gone north to raise troops for the defense of the city.
		Early siege warfare was undoubtedly a costly affair from the standpoint of human life, though in some situations the king's may have looked upon this as simply a loss of resources.

		Ancient siege warfare was a form of total war that often ended in the sack of a city and the massacre or enslavement of entire populations.
		The ancient Hebrew prophets and Greek poets described siege warfare as a world without limits or structure or morality, in which men violated deep-seated taboos about sex, pregnancy, and death.
		It is at times plodding and repetitive, however it does an excellent job of emphasizing the importance of siege warfare in the ancient world.

	Ancient Warfare - Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		No matter how much modern warfare owes to science and technology, no matter how much effort modern soldiers have devoted to rational consideration of the problems of war, the way we fight is influenced by habits, traditions and customs which can be traced to the beginning of recorded history.
		This style of warfare may seem simple, even crude, but it was in fact the result of centuries of evolution.
		It was fought by the men who owned the land, in protection of that land, and yet it was fought away from the cities themselves so that non-combatants were largely spared the usual miseries of war.
