Ancient Siege

COURSE

Course description

Ancient sieges were once familiar and alien. Armies struggled to take settlements, soldiers sweated in the grime beneath air made lethal by projectiles, and everyone else had to make terrible choices to survive and protect their friends and family. Our toys, games and videos are full of walls and siege engines. This session will ask how sieges worked in the ancient Mediterranean world, focusing on two dramatic events: the time the Assyrians marched on the Judean city of Lachish, and the time the Macedonian warlord Demetrius decided to take the free city of Rhodes.
