Au cœur d’un espace phrygien géographiquement mal défini dans l’Antiquité, l’installation de colons militaires, d’anciens soldats et de troupiers encore en activité, répondait à des objectifs stratégiques parfaitement identifiés pour les Achéménides, les monarques hellénistiques ou encore les Romains. Il s’agissait de contrôler un espace essentiel pour les communications terrestres entre l’intérieur du plateau anatolien d’une part et l’Égée d’autre part, mais aussi entre cette même côte et la Cilicie, puis au-delà la Syrie. Sur un plan tactique, cette présence militaire devait servir à protéger plateau et vallées phrygiens de la convoitise de populations voisines mal contrôlées comme les Pisidiens. S’appuyant sur de très nombreuses sources archéologiques, numismatiques et épigraphiques, examinant chaque communauté au cas par cas, cet ouvrage étudie les conséquences de l’installation de ces militaires sur la réalité locale, que ce soit au niveau économique, culturel, religieux ou social. Parcourant un temps long allant du IVe siècle avant J.-C. jusqu’à la fin de la dynastie des Sévères, il s’efforce de peser les évolutions liées à la présence de ces soldats allogènes. Entre la Phrygie achéménide et celle hellénistique puis romaine, le faciès de la région, essentiellement rurale au départ, a progressivement évolué : dès l’époque hellénistique, on observe un phénomène de poliadisation important, rendant le réseau de communication plus dense et le contrôle des populations locales plus complexe. At the heart of a geographically ill-defined Phrygian space during Antiquity, the installation of military settlers, former soldiers and troupiers still in operation, met perfectly identified strategic objectives fromthe Achaemenids, the Hellenistic monarchs or the Romans. It was to control a space essential for terrestrial communications between the interior of the Anatolian plateau on the one hand and the Aegean on the other, but also between this same coast and Cilicia, and…

Men of Bronze takes up one of the most important and fiercely debated subjects in ancient history and classics: how did archaic Greek hoplites fight, and what role, if any, did hoplite warfare play in shaping the Greek polis? In the nineteenth century, George Grote argued that the phalanx battle formation of the hoplite farmer citizen-soldier was the driving force behind a revolution in Greek social, political, and cultural institutions. Throughout the twentieth century scholars developed and refined this grand hoplite narrative with the help of archaeology. But over the past thirty years scholars have criticized nearly every major tenet of this orthodoxy. Indeed, the revisionists have persuaded many specialists that the evidence demands a new interpretation of the hoplite narrative and a rewriting of early Greek history. Men of Bronze gathers leading scholars to advance the current debate and bring it to a broader audience of ancient historians, classicists, archaeologists, and general readers. After explaining the historical context and significance of the hoplite question, the book assesses and pushes forward the debate over the traditional hoplite narrative and demonstrates why it is at a crucial turning point. Instead of reaching a consensus, the contributors have sharpened their differences, providing new evidence, explanations, and theories about the origin, nature, strategy, and tactics of the hoplite phalanx and its effect on Greek culture and the rise of the polis. The contributors include Paul Cartledge, Lin Foxhall, John Hale, Victor Davis Hanson, Donald Kagan, Peter Krentz, Kurt Raaflaub, Adam Schwartz, Anthony Snodgrass, Hans van Wees, and Gregory Viggiano.
