Asclepiodotus (first century BCE) wrote a work on Tactics as though for the lecture room, based on earlier manuals, not personal experience. Onasander's The General (first century CE) deals with the qualities expected of a general.$bAeneas was perhaps a general, and certainly author of several didactic military works of which the sole survivor is that on defence against siege. From it we can deduce that he was a Peloponnesian of the fourth century BCE who served in the Aegean and in Asia Minor and composed the work from direct knowledge and from oral and some literary tradition, possibly in 357-6 BCE. It is devoted entirely to defence of fortified places and deals specially with use of defending troops; defensive positions; morale; resistance to attacks and to actual assault; guards; obviation of treachery and revolution; and other subjects. Asclepiodotus, philosopher and pupil of the Stoic Posidonius, wrote a rather dry but ordered work on Tactics as if a subject of the lecture room, based not on personal experience but on earlier manuals. His main subjects were the branches of a military force; infantry; cavalry; chariots; elephants; arms; maneuvers; military evolutions; marching formation. The work ends with words of command. Onasander (Onasandros), a Platonic philosopher, dedicated his work The General to the Roman Veranius, who was a consul in 49 CE. The work deals in plain style with the sort of morals and social and military qualities and attitudes expected of a virtuous and militarily successful general. It is also concerned with such matters as his choice of staff; attitude to war; religious duties; military formations; conduct in allied and hostile lands; difficult terrains; camps; drill; spies; guards; deserters; battle formations and maneuvers; and other matters, ending with conduct after victory. 606 $aMilitary art and science$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aMilitary art and science$3(OCoLC)1020874$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xEarly works to 1800. 615 7$aMilitary art and science 700 $aAeneas$cTacticus,$factive 4th century B.C.,$0168525 702 $aAsclepiodotus 702 $aOnasander 702 $aAeneas$cTacticus,$factive 4th century B.C., 702 $aAeneas$cTacticus,$factive 4th century B.C., 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201336003316 996 $aAeneas Tacticus$92558355 997 $aUNISA
