Four hundred years of Roman military strategy in the palm of your hand The choice of these two works - Stratagems and On Military Matters in one volume allows the reader a bookend of Roman military theory and style.&nbsp; Stratagem was written in the first century AD by noted engineer and soldier, Sextus Julius Frontius.&nbsp; Rather than a specific outline of tactics, it is examples of strategies employed by other generals over time that could be, presumably learned by commanders and applied as the situation arose.&nbsp; This is somewhat similar to the style Plutarch uses in describing the lives of the notable Greeks and Romans in his book, Parallel Lives.&nbsp; On Military Matter, on the other hand, was written near the end of the western Empire in the fourth century AD, as a manual of how an army should be organized and used.&nbsp; Little is known about its author, Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, beyond this work and another on veterinary medicine.
