Hi Gaius,<br>
Don't know any references (which doesn't mean they don't exist), but as far as I know, the messed-up minds of modern war are caused in a large part by the continuous exposure to sudden death in the front lines. Days, weeks, months on end. Since ancient warfare was usually a ptiched battle of at most a few days, but usually only hours, the strain was undoubtedly very bad, but contained to a short period.<br>
But I may be wrong...<br>
