"A tabletop scenario is possible with the description of units and numbers, and you can try out a battle where Perseus spent the money for 10,000 Gallic cavalry. Enjoyed it."

This book would be a great starting point for those wanting to learn about ancient Greece (never mind the "armies" part!) or for those wanting to have a clearer picture in their mind while reading fiction based in this time and place(s). There are no long timelines or lists of historical characters that the author expects you to remember from one page to the next - it's all laid out very simply and easily. The photos were an added bonus that really helped bring the book to life.
