  • HAMILCAR TRAPPED Hamilcar in His First Operation Had Shown Boldness
    CHAPTER ELEVEN HAMILCAR TRAPPED Hamilcar in his rst operation had shown boldness—very unlike his confrère Hanno—and been blessed by luck. The smallness of his numbers had been more than compensated by rebel exuberance and indiscipline. His tactics of feigned retreat in face of the enemy turning into abrupt counterattack required troops con dent in drill and in their leader, though as military movements they were (and Hamilcar surely meant them to be) the simplest in the circumstances. But to see them foreshadowing Hannibal’s at Cannae or elsewhere, as is sometimes done, is hardly plausible. Nor are reconstructions that make them more Hannibalic persuasive, as shown above. A good deal more in Hannibal’s style—enemy centre held by infantry and then surrounded by cavalry—was the victory over Regulus’ Roman army in 255, thanks to the Spartan mercenary of\ cer Xanthippus.1 The victory at the Bagradas won back the strategic initiative for the Carthaginians.

The economical thing to do was sell them into slavery ( perhaps leaving 1 For Loreto (1995) 147 with n. 67, the battle reveals ‘una vera e propria scuola barcide’ of tactics from contemporary Hellenistic warfare, with Hannibal in turn developing ‘una tradizione militare di ambito familiare’ based on ‘[ la] manovra agile ed ardita contro il crescente appesantimento della falange ellenistica’ (cf. Gómez (1996) 283). This misconceives not only Hamilcar’s manoeuvres but the rebel attack, which was the opposite of a ‘crescente appesantimento’.

  • Defining Territories and Empires: from Mongol Ulus to Russian Siberia1200-1800 Stephen Kotkin
    Defining Territories and Empires: from Mongol Ulus to Russian Siberia1200-1800 Stephen Kotkin (Princeton University) Copyright (c) 1996 by the Slavic Research Center All rights reserved. The Russian empire's eventual displacement of the thirteenth-century Mongol ulus in Eurasia seems self-evident. The overthrow of the foreign yoke, defeat of various khanates, and conquest of Siberia constitute core aspects of the narratives on the formation of Russia's identity and political institutions. To those who disavow the Mongol influence, the Byzantine tradition serves as a counterweight. But the geopolitical turnabout is not a matter of dispute. Where Chingis Khan and his many descendants once held sway, the Riurikids (succeeded by the Romanovs) moved in. *1 Rather than the shortlived but ramified Mongol hegemony, which was mostly limited to the middle and southern parts of Eurasia, longterm overviews of the lands that became known as Siberia, or of its various subregions, typically begin with a chapter on "pre-history," which extends from the paleolithic to the moment of Russian arrival in the late sixteenth, early seventeenth centuries. *2 The goal is usually to enable the reader to understand what "human material" the Russians found and what "progress" was then achieved. Inherent in the narratives -- however sympathetic they may or may not be to the native peoples -- are assumptions about the historical advance deriving from the Russian arrival and socio-economic transformation. In short, the narratives are involved in legitimating Russia's conquest without any notion of alternatives. Of course, history can also be used to show that what seems natural did not exist forever but came into being; to reveal that there were other modes of existence, which were either pushed aside or folded into what then came to seem irreversible.

  • Transformation of the Tax System During the Middle Ages: the Case of Russia
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXI, Issue 3, 2018 pp. 242-253 Transformation of the Tax System During the Middle Ages: The Case of Russia A.Z. Nigamaev1, A.R. Gapsalamov2, E.M. Akhmetshin3, A.V. Pavlyuk4, N.A. Prodanova5, D.V. Savchenkova6 Abstract: The reorganization of the world and its globalization, a new turn of migration processes led to the appearance of problems that had not previously disturbed into the modern society. Consequently, nowadays there is a need to study the historical past so that we could understand the modern trends. The origin of modern problems, phenomena, processes and, especially, their appearance can be traced using the example of economic and political systems that have existed before. In this regard, it would be especially interesting to trace the specific aspects of modern taxation, why the Eastern and European tax collection systems occurred to be different, what influenced the formation of the mechanism of tax collection in different countries in the past, and, most importantly, how the interaction of the Asian and European taxation systems created the specifics of tax collection in the "middle" countries of Eastern Europe. The presented article is devoted to the analysis of the development of the taxation system of the feudal states of Eastern Europe such as Volga Bulgaria, Ulus Dzhuchi and the Kazan vilayet in the first half of the 16th century. While comparing them with the fiscal systems of the countries of the Muslim East, using the reports of Arab-Persian travelers, information from the Russian sources and information from Khan yarlyks, the authors analyze the diversity in the evolution of the of tax system and the extortion of a huge part of the population of Eastern Europe.

  • Dietary Decadence and Dynastic Decline in the Mongol Empire” by John Masson Smith, Jr
    Asian Topics in World History | Columbia University http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/mongols THE MONGOLS IN WORLD HISTORY “Dietary Decadence and Dynastic Decline in the Mongol Empire” by John Masson Smith, Jr. Journal of Asian History, vol. 34, no. 1, 2000 Reprinted with permission from the publisher, Harrassowitz Publishing House. Most Mongol rulers lived short lives. Those in the Middle East died, on average, at about age 38, and the successors of Qubilai (Khubilai) in the Far East at 33 (adding in Qubilai raises the average since he lived, atypically, for 78 years; Chinggis lived into his 60s; for the rest, few passed 50). Comparison of the Mongol and Manchu (Qing) dynasties shows the importance of longevity. In each of the Mongol realms of China, the Middle East and the Golden Horde, an average of eleven Mongols ruled for an average of about a century (107 years): Qubilai and nine successors ruled China for 110 years (1260-1370); the Golden Horde had twelve khans in 132 years (1227-1359); and nine Mongols held the Middle East for 80 years (1255-1335). Nine Manchus, with an average reign of 29 years, occupied the throne of China for over two and a half centuries (1644 -1908). The Middle Eastern Mongol dynasty had further problems: high infant mortality and infertility. Ann Lambton considers that “the possibility cannot be ruled out that once the Mongols settled in Persia, they ceased to be good breeders.”1 I suggest that the Mongols’ difficulties stemmed in large part from dietary inadequacies and improprieties. The diet of pre-imperial Mongols was simple, calorically-sufficient -- and poorly balanced.
