Aineias/Aeneas Tacticus: Stadtverteidigung/Poliorketia. Greek and German (Sammlung Tusculum).

Aineias shows how a small city could withstand a siege in antiquity. The book is the oldest military textbook preserved from ancient Greece and provides a unique insight into the world of the fourth century BC beyond the great powers like Athens and Sparta: The focus is on a small polis with its men and women, citizens and foreigners, free men and slaves, officials and ordinary people, all of whom must stand together in a crisis.

This is the first Greek-German bilingual edition for over 150 years. It is published as a hardcover book and also available online.
