Strategemata, or Stratagems, is a Latin work by the Roman author Frontinus (c. 40 – 103 AD). It is a collection of examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, ostensibly for the use of generals. Frontinus is assumed to have written Strategemata towards the end of the first century AD, possibly in connection with a lost work on military theory. The work consists of four books, of which three are undoubtedly by Frontinus. The authenticity of the fourth book has been challenged.

  • Strategemata, or Stratagems, is a Latin work by the Roman author Frontinus (c. 40 – 103 AD). It is a collection of examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, ostensibly for the use of generals. Frontinus is assumed to have written Strategemata towards the end of the first century AD, possibly in connection with a lost work on military theory. Frontinus is best known as a writer on water engineering, but he had a distinguished military career. In Stratagems he draws partly on his own experience as a general in Germany under Domitian. However, most of the (more than five hundred) examples which he gives are less recent, for example he mentions the Siege of Uxellodunum in 51 BC. Similarities to versions in other Roman authors like Valerius Maximus and Livy suggest that he drew mainly on literary sources. The work consists of four books, of which three are undoubtedly by Frontinus. The authenticity of the fourth book has been challenged. (en)
  • Strategemata è un'opera di Frontino, una raccolta di esempi di stratagemmi militari della storia greca e romana, apparentemente utilizzati dai generali. Si ritiene che Frontino abbia scritto l'opera verso la fine del primo secolo dopo Cristo, costituita in realtà da commentarii di una sua opera perduta, il De re militari. Frontino è più conosciuto come scrittore di ingegneria idraulica, ma ha una carriera militare di tutto rispetto. Negli Strategemata riporta in parte la propria esperienza di generale in Germania sotto Domiziano. Tuttavia, la maggior parte degli oltre cinquecento esempi da lui riportati sono meno recenti, e le somiglianze riscontrate con le versioni di altri autori romani quali Valerio Massimo e Tito Livio suggeriscono che egli attingesse principalmente a fonti letterarie. L'opera è suddivisa in quattro libri, di cui tre sono senza dubbio di Frontino, mentre per le differenze di stile e di contenuti, e per le frequenti ripetizioni di cose già scritte nei libri precedenti, si dubita dell'autenticità del quarto. La struttura dell'opera è la seguente: * il libro primo tratta della preparazione al combattimento e le varie operazioni; * il libro secondo tratta del combattimento vero e proprio; * il libro terzo tratta dell'assedio di città; * il libro quarto espone detti e fatti di celebri generali.
