new edition of Connolly\'s "Greece and Rome at War"

[D B Campbell]

Aside from an extra preface by Goldsworthy (it doesn't replace Scullard's), the Samnites section has been revised and the Caudine Forks painting reworked. I don't think there is anything else new. The pagination remains the same but the Samnites section is substantially different.

Thanks for the heads-up, Ross! Greenhill claim that it's a "new revised edition", but (as you said) the only substantial alteration appears to be the eight-page section on the Samnites.

(btw The Caudine forks painting is the same one, but cropped more generously this time around.)

Guys, can you please be more specific? Is there a more up-to-date edition than the 1998 one with appendixes?

Strictly speaking, the 1998 version was just a reprint of the 1981 original (although, again, Greenhill claimed that it was "reprinted with revisions"). The only "revisions" that I could see were in the bibliography, which included some newer works (and omitted some works which were expected in 1981 but which never appeared).

I suspect Greenhill included the Goldsworthy introduction as a marketing device. But, quite frankly, a book of this quality doesn't need any sweeteners to ensure that it sells. Books on ancient warfare don't come much better than this one.
