stratagem: i. e. a device for deceiving: esp. with a view to military advantage:
1. consĭlium fallax: Liv. 22, 16, or by circuml., to have recourse to a s., *ad fallendos hostes consilium instituere. (Consilium imperatorium [R. and A.] is too wide a term, including all kinds of strategical movements and plans.)
2. often insĭdiae, arum: strictly, an ambuscade: but used also in wider sense: cf. Front. Strat. 2, 5, 'De insidiis.'
3. dŏlus (craft, wile): to seek to gain advantage by s. (opp. to open valour, virtus), Caes. B. G. 1, 13: cf. Virg. Aen. 2, 390 (dolus an virtus, quis in hoste requirat).
4. furtum (lit. theft; hence, any stealthy proceeding): it was an occasion for s not (open) war, furto non bello opus esse, Curt. 4, 13: s.s, furta bellorum, Front. (Q.).
