Peculiarities and Utilitarianism in the Fighting Tendencies of the Assyrian Infantry During the 9th Century BC in an Eastern Mediterranean Context

In my paper, I analyze the fighting styles, tendencies and military tactics of both the infantries of the Neo-Assyrian Empire and the Greek world as its counterpart during the 9th century BC. The structure, which this overview follows by commenting and constructing a commentary contains an introduction, during which the methods of the research are going to be conducted, including the main source of information and how the structure of the paper is going to be laid out. After that, a brief mention of the historical importance will take place. Through the form of a brief expose, I will go over why is this period and its military peculiarities seem deserving of attention. Then for the main body of the paper are the following points of interest. 1) the infantry armaments, through which both armies equipped themselves and operated; 2) the methodological parallels between the utilitarian behavior of both military viewpoints at the time and what comes as different between them; 3) the defensive equipment and its hierarchical meaning during the period; 4) the infantry subdivisions and their utility for both representatives of the military comparison followed closely by the conclusion of this comparison
