| Summary |
"La guerra e la pace nel mondo antico: un saggio" by Ettore Ciccotti is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the complex interplay between war and peace throughout ancient civilizations, emphasizing how these conflicts shaped societies, cultures, and historical trajectories. The author's examination seems to delve deeply into the reasons behind recurring warfare and the societal impacts of such conditions over long expanses of time. The opening of the text establishes a philosophical and historical framework for understanding the duality of war and peace in ancient societies, particularly in the context of the Near East. Ciccotti begins by describing a continuous thread of conflict that characterizes human history, posing essential questions about the motivations behind such wars. He juxtaposes the abundance of the fertile landscapes with the incessant strife that plagued the ancient world, highlighting the seeming paradox where civilizations rich in resources often fell into turmoil. As he progresses, Ciccotti hints at the recurring nature of wars instigated by powers vying for dominance and the resultant impacts on the population, setting the stage for a more thorough exploration of the ancient Eastern empires' struggle for survival amidst external pressures and internal dissent.
