解説

From fire-lit beacons to sweeping lines of sight, this book uncovers the hidden infrastructure of pre-modern warfare. It is the first archaeological study to trace how military signalling systems shaped landscapes and societies from antiquity to the early modern period. Spanning ancient Greece, Viking Age Scandinavia, and medieval North Africa, the book investigates how visual communication enabled mobilisation, defence, and control. Through case studies and new interpretations of archaeological and historical data, it reveals a world where ordinary people, not just armies, played a central role in responding to the threat of war. A major contribution to military and landscape archaeology.
