Series Statement:
Warfare and history
Content:
The range and extent of the Peloponnesian War of the fifth century BC has led to it being described as a ''world war'' in miniature. With the struggle between Athens and Sparta at its core, the twenty-seven-year conflict drew in states from all points of the compass; from Byzantion in the north, Crete in the south, Asia Minor in the east and Sicily in the west.
