Roman Dislike of Tactics/Ambushes etc?
#1
I don't mean history itself, as an in examination of tactics (but feel free to ask) but I mean in terms of historiography and rhetoric. Do we have any passages which suggest a dislike of tricks and ambushes on behalf of the Romans? I know we have plenty of evidence of Roman cleverness, I'm looking for evidence of attitudes.

Incidentally its easy to find an aversion to being callidus in poetry and drama, I'm literally only interested in historigraphy and warfare though and I figured you guys must have came across something once or twice.
