Arrian The Campaigns Of Alexander The Great The Landmark Annotated Arrian Ancient Historian by Arrian (ancient Historian), James Romm (ed.), Pamela Mensch (transl.) 9781400079674, 1400079675 instant download after payment.

During twelve years of continuous
campaigns, Alexander conquered an empire that stretched from the shores of the
Adriatic to the edge of modern India. Arrian’s history of those conquests, the
most reliable and detailed account to emerge from the ancient world, is a work
that will fascinate readers interested in classical studies, the history of
warfare, and the origins of East-West tensions that still simmer today in Iraq,
Iran, and Afghanistan.



Drawing on Ptolemy’s memoirs and other sources that have not survived
antiquity, Arrian’s portrait of Alexander is unmatched for its accuracy and
immediacy. Having served as a high Roman official with command of an army,
Arrian had a unique perspective on Alexander, imbued with a level of
understanding that only firsthand military experience can provide.


 

In the richly illustrated and annotated style of The Landmark
series, The Campaigns of Alexander, which features an engaging
and eloquent new translation by Pamela Mensch, brings together some of the
pre-eminent classics scholars at work today to create what is certain to be the
definitive edition of this essential work of history.

received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment
