Ancient Warfare themes for Volume XVII
Well readers, its that time again when we ask for your suggestions for future themes for Ancient Warfare Magazine. We’re putting the finishing touches to 16.3 and then we’re off to Egypt with the campaigns of Thutmose III in 16.4; the Roman legions of the first century AD in 16.5 and then Alexander the Great in 16.6 – how’s that for variety? And, more importantly, what variety shall we put in place for Volume 17?
Will it be the wars of Marcus Aurelius or something Near Eastern? Lost Battles or the warriors of the Steppes?
