Par autoru
Sextus Julius Frontinus (c. 40 – 103 AD) was a prominent Roman author, military leader, and statesman, whose multifaceted career reflected the dynamism of the Roman Empire in the first century AD. He is best known for his treatise 'Strategemata' or 'Stratagems', which is an insightful compendium of military tactics and anecdotes intended to provide practical lessons in warfare. 'Strategemata' collates a wealth of examples of cunning and resourcefulness on the battlefield, drawing from history and Frontinus's own experiences to instruct Roman commanders on the art of war. The text is notable for its systematic approach to military strategy and serves to cement Frontinus's reputation as a keen observer and analyst of battlefield tactics (Frontinus, S. J., 'Strategemata'). In addition to his literary contributions, Frontinus held several important public offices, including governor of Britain and water commissioner for the city of Rome, managing the intricate aqueduct system, and this latter role inspired his work 'De Aquaeductu', a treatise on the water management of the city (Frontinus, S. J., 'De Aquaeductu Urbis Romae'). Frontinus's literary style is characterized by its clear, methodical presentation of material and its emphasis on practical application, reflecting his background as an engineer and administrator. His works are valuable not only as historical texts but also as reflections of Roman military intellect and civil engineering acumen.
