This Book Recounts And Analyzes The Complex Series Of Conflicts Between The Hellenistic Successor States In The Generation Before The Romans Intervened In, And Ultimately Conquered, The Region. This Period Is Rarely Treated In Any Depth, Usually Warranting Little More Than A Summary As Context For A Discussion Of The Roman Conquests.The Authors Demonstrate That This Period Of Almostconstant Conflict And Rivalry Makes A Fascinating Subject Of Study In Its Own Right. For Example, It Describes Macedon'S War With Cleomenes And The Final Crushing Of A Muchdiminished Sparta As An Independent Power; Also The Campaigns In The East Whereby The Seleucid King, Antiochus (Later Defeated By The Romans At Magnesia) Earned His Title Of Antiochus The Great. They Show How The Hellenistic Monarchs, While Aware Of Rome'S Epic Clash With Carthage In The West, Did Not Yet See Her As A Major Threat And Were Preoccupied With More Immediate Concerns.As Well As Clearly Narrating The Complex Events, Roberts And Bennet Assess The Various Military Systems Of The Hellenistic States And Developments In Warfare On Land And Sea. This Is A Very Original Book On A Neglected Period Of Politicomilitary History.
