Here we will study the armies and battles of antiquity, learning of their tactics and organization.  We shall also learn of the reasons for the wars of antiquity and how the national character of each nation affected the makeup of their military and how that military fought.

In these pages will also be found army lists and tactics for Warhammer Ancient Battles, and other fine game systems such as De Bellis Multitudinis and WRG Ancients.
