Strategika

   Military manuals; also called taktika (q.v.). The Strategikon of Maurice (q.v.) is among the earlier of these handbooks of military tactics and maxims, as is the Peri Strategikes (written during the reign of Justinian I [q.v.]). The 10th century saw a renewal of interest in military science, exemplified by other strategika, including the Taktika of Leo VI (q.v.), the Sylloge Tacticorum, the Naumachika, the Taktika of Nikphoros Ouranos, the Praecepta Militaria (q.v.), the De Velitatione, and the De Re Militari (qq.v.).
