Campaign of Alexander the Great
Campaign of Alexander the Great (31/1/2006 v.1) Εκστρατεία του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου (14/10/2005 v.1)

The coordinated march of Macedonian and other Greek troops that reached the Indian peninsula (336-324 BC), under the command of Alexander from the Macedonian kingdom, brought a radical change in the political, economic and social conditions of the Eastern Mediterranean, which led to the shaping of the Hellenistic kingdoms. This process was determined to a large extent by the role played by the Greek cities in Asia Minor, as they became the connecting points between the Greek and the Persian...

Campaigns of Publius Servilius Vatia (14/10/2005 v.1) Εκστρατείες του Π. Σερβίλιου Βατία (31/1/2006 v.1)

The campaigns of P. Servilius Vatia Isauricus (cons. 79 BC) probably date from the end of 79 BC to early 74 BC. They took place in the Roman province of Cilicia. Two objectives are discernible. Vatia fought the pirates of the coast before penetrating inland to conquer territory which some scholars believe the Romans may have previously held but lost when the First Mithridatic War began.

Darius' Scythian campaign (16/2/2006 v.1) Σκυθική Εκστρατεία του Δαρείου (14/10/2005 v.1)

In c. 513 BC, the Persian king Darius I campaigned in Thrace and Scythia. The tributary Greek cities of Asia Minor and the eastern Aegean islands participated in the campaign providing most of the ships for the Persian fleet, with their local tyrants as commanders. In order to transport the troops into Europe a pontoon, a bridge made up of ships, was constructed over the Bosporus. Darius’ army then marched up to Ister (modern Danube). Darius invaded Scythia. Soon he found himself in a difficult...

The Gothic raids of the 3rd century AD were a hard trial for the cities of Asia Minor. The inadequacy of the Roman defence resulted in the pillaging of many cities, with devastating consequences for the Greek population of Asia Minor.

March of the Ten Thousand
March of the Ten Thousand (8/2/2006 v.1) Κάθοδος των Μυρίων (14/10/2005 v.1)

The March of the Ten Thousand is one of most glorious chapters of Greek military history. It contains the long march home of the Greek mercenaries who had participated in the military operations of Cyrus II against Artaxerxes II in 401 BC. The march from Babylon to the Black Sea lasted from September 401 until May 399 BC. Xenophon, who had accompanied the force, described this march in a most vivid way in his work Anabasis.

The Asian campaign of Pompey took place in Asia Minor and the surrounding areas. It lasted from 66 to 62 B.C. and marks the final phase of the 3rd Mithridatic war. Pompey took over the command from Lucullus and, after finishing the campaign, proceeded to permanent settlement of Italians in the province.
