Alexander: Or the Macedonian miracle in Asia
(11 Jun 2009)
I have opened this thread to address a question posed in another thread. Unfortunately the thread went completely off-topic, to the point where it had to be closed by a moderator. Please gentlemen and ladies, lets stay on topic.
Now, the question is...'what was the key to the success of Alexander the Great and his Macedonian army against the Persians' particularly, but also it would seem against Asia in general. I shall attempt to answer based on my knowledge, opinions, and sources. Many of you...

Strong opinions weakly held: Hydaspes
(19 Apr 2009)
Title adopted, of course, from Agesilaos' (3) reference on the Macedonian phalanx thread.
Firstly, I must send a warm thank you to Paullus for the hospitality, company and case of Penfold's red consumed on the night in question. Also for Wary's Warfare in the Ancient World. This is a rather large (coffee table) book excellently illustrated. Many a battle diagram is also included along with a "potted" description of the battle. A pity Gabiene did not make it but, you can't have them all. And, yes...

This group is not affiliated neither with Prof. Miller nor with his initiative. It is established to express support for the cause of revitalization of interest in Classical Antiquity, with emphasis on th...

Philip II of Macedon: Sent by Apollo
(01 Jun 2009)
"I had arrived at this result, for no other hypothesis would meet the facts."
- Sherlock Holmes , in A Study in Scarlet
Greetings all
Just about twenty months have passed since this thread , one I have always wished to return to address some issues of disagreement etc. I initiate here discussions about Philip II of Macedon, whose broad legacy involved the formation of a new political organization in the form of a Greek monarchy in 337 B.C.. This was not conducive to the effectuated ideal of 'rul...

Paths to Hellenic Athenian Citizenship
(24 Jun 2009)
One thing that strongly differentiated Rome from the Hellenic city-states was her vast demographic growth and potential. When facing Pyrrhus of Epirus, Rome was able to absorb horrific casualties that would have crippled a Greek state in similar circumstances. During the Punic Wars, Rome again showed an astounding ability to raise army after army in the face of defeats, even in Italia itself.
Contrast this performance with the Athenians and Spartans before the Macedonian conquests.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail
(30 May 2009)
Posted without comment.
16 April 1963
My Dear Fellow Clergymen:
While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that...

Macedonia: Albanian Group Seek Federalization
(11 Jun 2009)
A group of right-wing ethnic Albanian politicians during a Wednesday press conference demanded the federalization of Macedonia based on the Swiss and Belgian models.
The group, headed by Hisni Shakiri, Sefedin Haruni, Bardulj Mahmuti and Nevzat Halili from the Ilirida movement, is not advocating renewed armed conflict with the state, but urging constitutional changes that would allow ethnic Albanians, who comprise one-quarter of the country's population, equal rights.
The group is not part of...

Letter from the Editor
Yet another busy month has flown by...or has it? Unfortunately for the team, April and my obsession about weekend releases mean that the team had a mere three weeks to put together an edition, and I must congratulate them on their efforts. Another fine masterpiece of Total War talk to keep you in the know about what is going on in our fair community. All the familiar names are still around with B. Ward and Theodotos covering the competitions, Augustus Lucifer scouring the...
