I think I've read in on Acoup blog somewhere, it's not a given that ancients had PTSD. E.g. Roman writers complain a lot about all aspects of warfare from fear to tedium, so it's not like they are trying to hide their supposedly then-socially-inappropriate feelings, but they never write about PTSD; it might just be a modern phenomenon. One theory is that warfare was seen as inherently good and proper, "normal" occupation until very recently.
