Weapons of the Ancient World is the eighth title in this handsome series for the general reader whose interest in archaeology has been aroused by the growing coverage given the science by television, newspapers, journals and the spate of exhibitions and specialist books of recent years. The series is also designed as an introductory primer for students making archaeology a course subject or, ultimately, a profession. The complete series is intended to be world-wide in its scope, and ranges from pre-history to post-Biblical Roman and Byzantine times.
Weapons were perhaps the first "inventions" of primitive man. Rivka Gonen here traces the development of the weapons of antiquity, from the most rudimentary implements of wood, stone and bone, to the intricate mechanisms of later civilizations.
