"Les stratagèmes" by Sextus Julius Frontinus is a military treatise written in the late 1st century AD. This work serves as a guide for military leaders, categorizing various tactics and strategies employed by great commanders throughout history. The book focuses on essential aspects of warfare, including deception, manipulation of enemy movements, and managing the morale and discipline of troops. The opening of "Les stratagèmes" introduces the reader to the strategic insights of Frontinus, who aims to create a compendium of past military exploits to benefit future generals. It outlines the organization of the work into four books, each focusing on different elements of warfare, commencing with various stratagems that can be utilized before engaging in battle. The initial examples showcase historical figures, such as Cato and Caesar, illustrating the importance of cunning and foresight in military operations.
