The Thracians were famed as warriors throughout the ancient world, and used as mercenaries par excellence in the armies of Greece, Rome and Persia. In this excellent study Chris Webber takes a comprehensive look at this military role, using evidence from all of the latest digs to reconstruct the arms, armour and costume of the Thracian warrior. He goes on to outline military organisation and the logistics of Thracian armies, as well as fortifications and strategy, before setting out what can be gleaned about the different Thracian tribes.
