Les stratagèmes by Sextus Julius Frontinus

"Les stratagèmes" by Sextus Julius Frontinus is a Latin work written towards the end of the first century AD. This military handbook compiles over five hundred examples of strategic maneuvers from Greek and Roman history, intended as a practical guide for generals. Drawing from both his own combat experience in Germany and ancient literary sources, Frontinus presents tactical wisdom spanning centuries—from recent campaigns to legendary sieges. The collection offers a window into how Roman commanders approached the art of warfare through cunning and calculated strategy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
