Casualties in ancient battles. - eugene - 11-27-2009
Are there any researches about the statistics of casualties in ancient battles? I have heard that there was an article about casualties rate in Thucydides. Does somebody has any information on this article?

Maybe Catherine Rubincam, "Casualty Figures in the Battle Descriptions of Thucydides", Trans. Am. Philol. Assoc. 121 (1991), 181ff.

Hammond has included in a paper an analysis of such for the Macedonian phalanx. Can't recall the paper. Possibly Training and Use of the Sarissa. I shall have a look when I get home.

That paper by NGL Hammond is Casualties and Reinforcements of Citizen Soldiers in Greece and Macedonia.
