Abstract
Plutarch says that battles, deployment of armies and sieges are not so impressive for his biographical purposes. However, these topics are very frequent in the Lives. The paper focuses particularly on the Plutarch’s controversies involving other historians about military matters. Other passages, concerning the right and the wrong of the war and offering not merely biographical features, are taken into consideration (Marc., 1 e 21, 3; Sull., 6, 2-5; Comp. Lyc Numa, 4, 7).
