Recent scholarship, however, has shown that there is far more evidence for the armour and equipment of the Numidians than hitherto assumed. The carved stone shields and cuirasses that punctuate the decorative friezes of the stone 'altars' at Kbor Klib and Chimtou in North Africa are confident representations of Numidian panoplies, not captured Carthaginian armour as has previously been argued. In this book, this research is presented alongside a close examination of various ancient texts which reveals that the Numidians also fielded infantry, slingers, archers, and even war elephants in conflicts across the Mediterranean, including Spain, Greece, northern Italy, and Thrace. All of these troops are brought to life in original colour artwork, complemented by chapters on their weapons and equipment, history, tactics, and organization.

William Horsted studied Ancient History at the University of Bristol. After a year studying agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College, he returned to Bristol to undertake postgraduate research into the adoption of Christianity in rural areas of Late Roman North Africa. As well as ancient Mediterranean warfare, his research interests include the agriculture and ecology of the same period. This is his first book.
Adam Hook studied graphic design, and began his work as an illustrator in 1983.
