Welcome to the Classical warfare task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below.

The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here.

Scope
This task force covers the military history of the Mediterranean civilizations of classical antiquity (c. 700 BC–c. 500 AD), in particular those of Ancient Greece and Rome. For later events, such as the military history of the Byzantine Empire, please refer to the Medieval warfare task force.

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding  or   to the WPMILHIST project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Classical warfare task force articles.

 * Online Texts (readable/not downloadable)
 * The Perseus Project has a massive collection of texts, both Greek and Roman. Among the most useful:
 * Diodorus Siculus, Library
 * Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War
 * Xenophon, Hellenica
 * Attalus: Not a reference by itself, but a list of events in Greek, Roman, and Mediterranean history, year-by-year in rough chronological order within that year, with those events massively referenced themselves. It is sort of a "meta-index" of event-specific references, with many of the references linked directly to online versions of the text. An invaluable online historical research tool!
