Summary/Abstract: The issue of ancient warfare was often included in the publications of Polish classicists, although it usually did not constitute an independent research area. The long and well-established tradition of classical studies resulted in difficulties in the possibility of working out a common research position with representatives of the “Polish school” of military history, especially due to the changes taking place after 1926. After the end of World War II, the model inherited from the Second Polish Republic was continued, but the transformations taking place in the Polish higher education after 1989 constitute an opportunity to bring the two communities closer together and to unify research approaches in a natural way.
