Die Kunst der Taktik hat schon die Antike fasziniert. Mit welcher Taktik war es Alexander dem Großen gelungen, sein riesiges Reich zu gewinnen? Was können die Römer davon lernen? Und wie trainiert man heute? Antworten auf solche Fragen bietet im 2. Jh. n. Chr. Arrianos in seiner Techne Taktike, die er durch eine Darstellung von römischen Reiterturnieren ergänzt. Besonders anschaulich macht Asklepiodotos die Kunst der Taktik, die er nicht nur in Texten, sondern auch in Diagrammen erklärt. Zusammen bieten die Werke einen einmaligen Einblick in die antike Taktik und regen dazu an, es den antiken Taktikern gleichzutun.
