"Johstono's glimpses into second-century developments in his
conclusion makes one hope a second volume is in the works. In any
case, The Army of Ptolemaic Egypt, 323 to 204 BC makes a
substantial contribution to our understanding of the Ptolemaic
state apparatus and Hellenistic warfare more broadly."-- "Michigan
War Studies Review"
"Overall, Johstono's work provides a good study of the Ptolemaic
army and its relation to the Ptolemaic state, asks good, pointed
questions about the ethnicity of the various troops that made up
the Ptolemaic force, and challenges the narrative of decadence and
decline in the Egyptian army."-- "H-War"
