On its way back from the printer, the latest Ancient History focuses on the Mycenaeans. From trade and commerce during the Bronze Age to architecture, religion and the role of women in society, issue 26 is a great starting point for those curious about the eastern Mediterranean during the pre-classical era.

Ancient Warfare 13-4 almost here
In the upcoming issue of Ancient Warfare, we're taking a look at the role of chariots in antiquity, with a specific focus on how they were used as weapons (as opposed to a means of transport). Articles include chariotry in Egypt, their use and development in ancient China, and of course more on the Assyrians and Israelites and how wheeled vehicles fit into biblical battles.
You can pre-order your copy now for a slight savings off the cover price, or subscribe for even more ancient warfare throughout the year.
We would like to wish you all the best in the upcoming new year!
A big thank you to all our customers and traders for supporting us, and we hope to give you more excellent products in 2020!
