Indiana University Press, 1999. First edition, first printing hardcover with dust jacket of Ancient Siege Warfare by Paul Bentley Kern.

Siege warfare was the only form of war in the ancient world in which the presence of women was common. Kern pays special attention to their role in sieges, as both participants and victims, and to how their presence affected the nature of siege warfare.
