Asclepiodotus (philosopher)

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. Fact|date=February 2007
