Zusammenfassung:"The adage that an army "marches on its stomach" finds renewed emphasis in this collection of essays. Focusing on military diet and supply from Homer through the Roman Empire, Diet and Logistics in Greek and Roman Warfare explains regional dietary options and reassesses traditional notions of "provisioning" while exploring topics ranging from strategy and subterfuge to trade and terror. Through fresh insights drawn from current research and excavation spanning the Greco-Roman world, contributors confirm how providing food and drink for soldiers was critical to every army's success and survival. This volume stimulates reevaluation of ancient militaries and encourages new research. Contributors are: Jeremy Armstrong, Bret Devereux, Fernando Echeverria, Paul Erdkamp, Eduardo Garcia-Molina, Marc Kleijwegt, Kelsey Koon, Sarah Murray, Nikolas Overtoom, Thomas Rose, Matthew Sears, Gregory Viggiano"--
