From Sumer To Rome by Richard A. Gabriel
The Military Capabilities of Ancient Armies
The book traces military development from the earliest Mesopotamian city-states through classical antiquity to Rome, showing how innovations in organization, tactics, technology, and logistics transformed warfare and enabled state expansion. It examines chariots, infantry formations, cavalry, combined-arms tactics, and the professionalization of armies across societies—Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Persian, Macedonian and Roman—to highlight continuities and key shifts. The narrative links military change to social and political institutions, arguing that these evolutions played a central role in the rise and dominance of Western civilizations.
