The Army and Navy Historical Thread

AncientWorlds.net Web

Here is the place to trace the evolution of the Byzantine Army from the Classical Legions, to Medieval Thematic troops, and finally to the Mercenaries of the last Emperor. . . . And the Navy's history from the days when it was the best-organized force in the Mediterranean, to the life-and-death struggles against the Persians, Saracens and Russians, and finally to its sad and shameful finish under John VI Cantacuzenus.
