John Drogo Montagu for Greenhill
Varnish tin country here, this book does just what its title suggests. The chronological list is split into Greek and Roman sections, but cross-referenced in the latter in case you are wondering about Magnesia. Each battle gets a short description and a list of references. The compiler warns that the list is not complete, and I have spotted at least one Gallic victory mentioned in Goldsworthy that does not make it into here. A useful reference book but with little analysis.
