Les Stratagmes

Sextus Julius Frontinus fut l'un des plus importants ingénieurs hydrauliques de l'Antiquité. Dans cet ouvrage, il nous livre ses réflexions sur les aqueducs de Rome, leur histoire, leur fonctionnement, leur entretien. Mais il va plus loin: il y évoque aussi les ruses et les stratagèmes employés par les plombiers romains pour détourner l'eau à leur profit, faisant de ce livre l'un des plus fascinants témoignages sur la vie quotidienne dans la Rome antique.
