Fields of death: retracing ancient battlefields
Richard Evans revisits the sites of a selection of Greek and Roman battles and sieges to seek new insights.

By combining the ancient sources and latest archaeological findings with his personal observations on the ground, Richard Evans brings new perspectives to the dramatic events of the distant past.
