Polemica. Etudes sur la guerre et les armées dans la Grèce ancienne. Afrique du Nord where bacchanalia mingle with bullfightsHow did the ancient Greeks fight? Did their armies and fleets include mercenaries? Slaves? Pirates? How did they pay their fighters? How did they treat their vanquished?

It consists of 22 studies, expanded and edited by Sylvian Fachard, in collaboration with the author.
