MoreLong description:
This volume explores the relationship between how elite masculinity was expressed and warfare in Cisalpine Gaul between c. 400 and 50 BC.
The first half of the book demonstrates that material changes in funerary assemblages reflected broader socio-political and military developments. The second half of this study presents the first in-depth analysis of the organisational and tactical capabilities of infantry and cavalry forces in Cisalpine Gaul. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the Cisalpine Gallic tribes experienced significant socio-political developments during the third century, which significantly increased the sophistication of their warcraft and military forces.
Owing to its broad scope and interdisciplinary approach, this book will appeal to professional scholars, university students, and history enthusiasts alike who are interested in archaeology, expressions of elite identity, military studies, and the socio-political development of the lesser-known cultural groups of pre-Roman Italy, the western Mediterranean, and the wider Celtic world in the last four centuries BCE.
