Usage: The verb στρατολογέω is used to describe the act of enlisting or recruiting individuals for military service. In a broader sense, it can also refer to gathering or assembling people for a specific purpose, often with a connotation of preparation for conflict or defense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, military service was a significant aspect of society. City-states and empires relied on the recruitment of soldiers to maintain their power and protect their territories.
