Résumé de la thèse
The aim of the thesis is to analyse the daily life of soldiers during the Old Babylonian period (c. XX – XVI ca. B.C.E.). I will study the first and last call to arms, the origin of soldiers, how they perceived war, their emotions toward war, the relationship between war and masculinities, the salaries, the different tasks soldiers could perform, their (in)discipline(s), their diets... I will examine these topics in relation to their families to better approach their everyday life.
