"Given the fact that the phenomenon of bodyguards has rarely been the focus of scholarly work, this volume is a welcome collection for all those interested in ancient military history, elites, and power relations. All the essays are well written, richly sourced and footnoted, each with its own bibliography. Sources come from ancient literature, iconography, and archaeology." Theo van den Hout, University of Chicago, in BMCR 2024.02.52.
