I got into an argument with my history teacher earlier this week over whether or not warfare was less horrible in the ancient world. I based my stance on this video while she said that Lloyd's (the man in the video) main point is about PTSD not really being a thing back then isn't valid because of lack of evidence.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
Here's a good old Reddit discussion about evidence for PTSD in the classical world: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1cpusf/is_there_evidence_of_ptsd_in_ancient_warrior/?client=safari
This subject is covered in our FAQ; there's a great in-depth discussion of the Roman evidence here.
