First editon, first impression, Hardcover. xiii+ 253 pp. with bibliography, index. Two maps integral. In the ancient world, the Punic Wars, especially the first, were characterized by massive naval battles. The Romans did not even possess a navy of their own when war broke out between then and the Carthaginians in Sicily in 264 BC. Prior to that, Rome relied upon several South Italian Greek cities to provide ships in the same way soldiers were provided to serve with the Legions. The Romans were nevertheless determined to acquire a navy that could challenge Carthage; using a captured galley as a model, they reverse engineers it and constructed hundreds of copies. This new navy wrenched maritime superiority away from the Carthaginians. …

Condición: New. Hardback, 261 pagesPublished Price £19.99 Naval power played a vital role in the Peloponnesian War. The conflict pitted Athens against a powerful coalition including the preeminent land power of the day, Sparta. Only Athens superior fleet, her wooden walls , by protecting her vital supply routes allowed her to survive. It also allowed the strategic freedom of movement to strike back where she chose, most famously at Sphacteria, where a Spartan force was cut off and forced to surrender. Athens initial tactical superiority was demonstrated at the Battle of Chalcis, where her ships literally ran rings round the opposition but this gap closed as her enemies adapted. The great amphibious expedition to Sicily was a watershed, a strategic blunder compounded by tactical errors which brought defeat and irreplaceable losses. Although Athens continued to win victories at sea, at Arginusae for example, her naval strength had been severely weakened while the Spartans built up their fleets with Persian subsidies. It was another naval defeat, at Aegispotomi (405 BC) that finally sealed Athens fate. Book.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. In 264 BCE, when the Romans first went to war with Carthage, they had no navy, relying instead on ships from South Italian cities. However, when the Punic Wars ended more than a century later, Rome had developed a powerful fleet, which would prove vital for imperial expansion. DeSantis traces the growth of this naval supremacy and discusses the tactics that made it possible, such as the boarding-bridge by which the superior Roman infantry simply walked onto the enemy's decks.…
