Lindsay Powell, 'Introduction to the Subject'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFor the Greeks and Romans of the Archaic and Classical periods, wars were often fought when oaths and treaties, sacred because they had been witnessed before the gods, were broken. They believed that who would win was a matter for the gods to decide. Before the battle began, city-states, soldiers, and their senior officers actively sought the favor of the gods to improve their odds of ultimate victory, or at least survival. Studying how the Greeks and Romans understood the relationship between gods and men provides vital insight into the mindset of the ancient warrior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Source: Paul Elliott, 'Inside a Temple of Mithras: Secrets of a Military Cult'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThere's a large wayside mound along Hadrian's Wall called Carrawburgh (pronounced 'kara-bura'), the Roman fort at Broccolite, with an excavated stone temple dedicated to the god Mithras behind it. It's easy to miss, but it's a crucial part of the story of everyday life on Hadrian's Wall. Mithras' followers formed a Mystery Cult, a secret society that was popular with some of the soldiers along Hadrian's Wall. What was found at Carrawburgh gives us a rare insight into the workings of this military cult.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Oracle at Delphi - by Johnny Shumate.

History has enjoyed telling the tale of the great oriental oppressors of the 5th century who invaded the small but free Greek states, culminating in a victory of democracy over autocracy between David and Goliath. The great victories at Marathon and Plataea, combined with the heroic resistance of Leonidas's 300 (ignoring the more than 2,000 Greeks who were present), have given rise to a popular and moral tale of freedom versus control, right versus wrong, good versus evil; of people standing up for what they consider just and fair. But there is a different story to tell. A story of cultural restraint, of political wrangling, and of piety that resists the practical: this is the story of Sparta, no longer behind its mirage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Corrado Re, 'Consular Suicide - The Practical Aspects of Devotio'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFor the Romans, as for most ancient peoples, victory was as much a matter of divine favor as military valor. They had several rites associated with warfare, most of which dated back to their earliest history. One of the most striking practices was the Act of Devotion. According to Livy and Cicero, it was enacted three times between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. Each time the actor was a consul named Publius Decius Mus: father, son, and grandson. This was probably an expression of the private religion and tradition of the gens (family). The first recorded devotio was performed at the Battle of Veseris, against a Latin army; the second in Sentinum, in the 'Battle of the Nations,' against a coalition of Italic and Gallic peoples. And the final devotion took place in Ausculum against Pyrus. We know the narrative, but what happened at such events?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Christopher Lilley, 'Epona in Roman Service - Military Worship of a Horse Goddess'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe goddess Epona is generally assumed to be a pre-conquest Gallic deity whose cult was later spread beyond Gaul by local cavalry in Roman service. However, no inscriptions of Epona are known from Gallic wings and cohortes equitatae. A connection with the Augustan equites singulares, particularly under Hadrian, helps resolve this mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Mark Woolmer, 'In the Name of Ahuramazda - Darius' War Against the Elamites and Scythians'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn September 522 BC, Darius I, along with six accomplices, seized control of the Persian throne. Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, was the third great king of the Persian Empire, ruling at the height of his power and influence. However, his seizure of power was met with rebellions across the empire, which forced Darius to innovate in terms of his political, economic, religious, and military policies. Therefore, he reorganized the empire by dividing it into provinces and appointing satraps (regional governors) to oversee them. He introduced a new monetary system, made Aramaic the official language of the empire, and initiated a series of building projects.

Peoples as diverse as the Assyrians and the Romans indulged in this practice, although of course the meaning of this act was not the same in all cases. It is not easy to cut off a human head; indeed, it is very difficult to achieve in combat with a single blow of the sword.\u003cbr\u003e Despite what Hollywood might suggest, it was usually done post-mortem.

From Philip II onward, Macedonian kings assembled powerful armies of mixed troops, composed of massed cavalry, mobile skirmishers, and a backbone of well-trained heavy infantrymen who formed the pike-armed \"Macedonian\" phalanx. The gradual expansionism of the second half of the 4th century BC erupted under Alexander the Great, who incorporated huge swathes of the western half of the Old World into his empire, but it came to an end with his death and the fragmentation of his domains into smaller warring states. As a result of the expansion of Macedonian soldiers throughout the Hellenistic world, their costume became fashionable among soldiers everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSubject: Mateusz Lobacz, 'On the Edge of Hellenism: Greek Armies in Bactria and India.'

The two armies had been encamped opposite each other for nearly five days, and the failed attempt on Ptolemy's life by Theodotus, his former governor of Celei Syria, now in the service of the Seleucids, was a product of this delay (Polybius 5.82.1; 81.1-6 – all references to this author unless otherwise noted). Two days earlier, Antiochus had shortened the distance between the two camps from 1.8 kilometers to just under a kilometer. As a result, there was frequent fighting at the watering places, as well as infantry and cavalry skirmishes in the space between the camps (5.80.5-7).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSubject: paul mcdonnell-staff, 'macedonia's last hurray: the third macedonian war and pydna'. illustrated by johnny shumate thracians with heads on their romphaia - artwork by johnny shumate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When he saw this and observed that the rest of the Macedonians took the peltai that hung over their left shoulders and brought them close before them, they all suddenly leaned their pikes against the shields of their enemies and considered the great force.

The arts flourished. The most famous works of ancient Egyptian literature were created during this period and represent the Classical phase of the Egyptian language.

According to some, he sought to reconcile the West with the East, opening access to a new world for Europe; according to others, he haphazardly destroyed old cultures and waged a war of conquest without a visible goal.
