Fabian warfare

Postby Curio Agelastus on Mon Sep 27, 2004 11:51 pm

Salvete omnes,

A quick question: guerilla warfare in Roman times was, if I understand correctly, called Fabian warfare. Am I right in thinking this was named after Fabius Cunctator?

Also, aside from Sertorius, what are the best examples of Fabian warfare by Roman soldiers rather than by their enemies?

Salve Curio

Em, the First and Second Samnite Wars were conducted as a series of raids. The First Macedonian War and the first phase of the Second Macedonian War were Fabian campaigns, and I would add Labienus' campaign against Caesar in the first phases of the African Campaign.
