Struggle with Rome. Sicilian campaign. - Andrey Sat, 14 Aug 2010 07:09:54 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-262 Some of those mentioned above that I would like to see as well: - The army of Diocletian and his successors - The Dacian wars. It would be great if they could include Domitians wars, as well as those of Trajan. - The year of Four Emperors - The Rise of Persia - The Roman navy On the civil wars you could fill years of issues, but some interesting characters (to me) are Sulla, Pompey and Sertorius. So maybe issues on - Rome vs Mithradates (Sulla and Pompey), or - The roman civil wars in Spain (Pompey and Sertorius). some others: - The Hittite empire/ warfare - The Augustan Conquests - The retreat of the ten thousand - Wars/ Army of the Severans For the special Marathon seems perfect. Not really a part of the question, but some possible topics for 'the debate': Fall or transformation? The end of the roman empire in the west Is there a Western Way of War? Thanks for allowing this input, much appreciated! - Dastov Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:00:36 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-260 -Rome versus Sassanid Persia, including last roman-persian war and campaigns of Heraclius and Julianus -Army of Stiliho -Rome's fleets - Diocletianus Mon, 02 Aug 2010 23:45:33 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-259 Assyrian Warfare Greek Warfare during the Geometric age Warfare in the Northern Bronze Age Attila and the Huns - Olaf Kueppers Sat, 31 Jul 2010 09:47:38 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-258 -Rome versus Sassanid Persia, including last roman-persian war and campaigns of Heraclius and Julianus -Maurice's Balkan wars -Ptolemaic egypt army -Eunuchs as generals -Marcomannic Wars the army of Diocletian and Marius are also good suggestions - Amelianus Sat, 31 Jul 2010 04:38:56 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-257 -biological and chemical and warfare - jurjen Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:08:32 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-256 Marathon for the Special Also: History of Sicily down to 200 BC Carthage before the Barcids The First Punic War Peloponnesian War Thebes's Hegemony* Philip II* Republican Rome vs Macedonia Republican Rome vs Asia Mithridates Year of the Four Emperors History of Jerusalem Britain: 55 BC - AD 77 Post-Bronze Age, pre-Persian Mesopotamia Egypt down to Cambyses Persia: 553-490/499* I have asterisked the ones I think have the most potential, although there have been a few articles relating to Thebes's hegemony already...

Other suggestions -Armies of the Diadochi -Germanic Tribes (Goths, Vandals, Franks, etc) -Steppe Warriors and their impact on the Mediterranean - Jim Davis Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:07:07 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-246 Roman Civil Wars issue could cover a wide array of important important conflicts, from the Social War, Marius vs Sulla, Pompey vs. Caesar, Octavian vs. Anthony to the imperial civil wars. Also perhaps a "3rd Century Crisis" issue. One the Greek side: perhaps a "Peloponnesian War" issue; and given the eternal popularity of all things Spartan, a "Sparta" issue might be in order, but hopefully without the red capes and leather underpants. A Sparta issue would be especially interesting if it contained articles beyond the 4th century, discussing the military affairs of Cleomenes and Nabis in addition to the classical glories of Leonidas and Brasidas. - Michael J. Taylor Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:27:54 +0100 http://www.ancient-warfare.com/cms/magazine/jasper-oorthuys/271-themes-of-2011.html#comment-243 I would like to see [b]Rome and Sassanid Persia[/b]. You published a great and informative issue dealing with Rome and Parthia, so IMHO dealing with late Rome`s greatest adversery would be very appreciated. You could include articles dealing with the the very advanced diplomacy between both powers, peace and trade treaties; mobile (maybe the battle of Callinicum 531 A) and siege (maybe the Siege of Amida by Shapur II) warfare. The warriors: Sassanian Asavaran. The Sassanian state: relationship between the king of kings an the Great Noble Clans. Just some thoughts to that theme. - Andreas Rudolph Mon, 19 Jul 2010 06:40:07 +0100
