The reader is offered the second edition of the famous work of the Greek author of the middle of the II century AD from Macedonia, about whom it is known that by the time of the Parthian War (161-162), despite his advanced age, he continued to act as a lawyer in the imperial courts in Rome, and it was there that in a fairly short period of time he wrote a work on military cunning called "Strategemes", which later brought him world fame.
This work is essentially a talented compilation, which, however, in no way reduces the importance of this book for historians, because the evidence cited by Polyenus, sometimes unique, because many of the sources used by the author of "Strategemes", not preserved. On the pages of this work, the reader will meet with a fascinating description of military tricks, tricks and heroic deeds of Greek, Roman and barbarian kings and generals, starting with mythological heroes and ending with Caesar and Octavian Augustus. "Strategems" is virtually an encyclopedia of military thought and military practice in antiquity.
