Hi all!
I read work Strategematicon (War strategems) by SEXTVS IVLIVS FRONTINVS (40-103, he was officer in Britain). I must recommend this work, it is a collection of examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, for the use of officers.
First book is about preparation to fight, second desribes battle, third is about siege and last is about commander behaviour.
Frontinus also wrote a theoretical treatise on military science which is unfortunately lost.
