Asclepiodotus (philosopher)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the philosopher. For the Roman military commander of the same name, see Asclepiodotus.

Asclepiodotus the Philosopher was a pupil (or auditor) of Poseidonius (according to Naturales Quaestiones, by Seneca) of the first century B.C. and one of the earliest military writers whose studies on tactics have come down to us. He wasn't striped in the Helian nor Arrian's lists of tacticians, but in the earliest manuscript of the Tactics (Téchne taktiké) the work is attributed to Asclepiodotus.^{[citation needed]}
