ABSTRACT
The discussion that follows is meant to serve as an overview and handy reference for matters that would otherwise overwhelm the already extensive footnotes to the main narrative. It is not intended to be exhaustive, though it is more extensive on matters of command structure and terminology of major units. A detailed treatment of military matters would require a substantial volume in itself. The most convenient discussions of the army can found in: Berve I, 103–217; Tarn II, 135–69; Fuller, Generalship 39–54; Sekunda 1984; Sekunda and Warry 1998; Ashley, Macedonian Empire 22–54 (of limited use); English, Army; Sekunda 2010; Karunanithy, War Machine; cf. also Faure, Vie quotidienne; Sekunda 2007: 330–3; and Engels, Logistics 146–52, Appendix 5, Tables 4–6, for numbers of troops and reinforcements. Articles of a more specialized nature are cited in the appropriate sections and in the main bibliography.
