  • Descrição: Especially if the book is the result of a conference, as this one partially is, since it takes its lead from a panel on ‘The Art of Generalship: Late Antique, Byzantine, and Chinese Ideals’ held at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds in 2014 and whose temporal range was extended afterwards to encompass the ancient Graeco-Roman world. According to Kucewicz, the reorganisation of the militia of the polis from the sixth century bce onwards resulted in increased tactical and strategic capabilities. The study reveals that generals among the Seleucids from 301 to 222 bce were not only commanders and confidants of the king, but also administrators and governors, with specific relations and influence in the territories where they were sent. M. Stewart's work, ‘The Fine Line between Courage and Fear in the Vandal War’, is a study of the vocabulary of fear in Procopius and its links to the earlier historiographical tradition, M. de Marre's paper, ‘The Generalship of John Troglita: Art in Artifice’, is a study of the Byzantine general John Troglita, who, despite his successes against the Vandals, did not receive much recognition, while E. MacDonald's chapter, ‘The Best of Men: Cross-Cultural Command in the 630s ad’, focuses on the representation of the generals involved in the battles of al-Yarmūk and al-Qādessiyah in Byzantine, Sasanian and Arab sources that converge into masculine identities with well-defined traits.
