Examples of ancient strategies are contained in the work of an ancient Roman author S. Y. Frontin «Stratehemy». In this study, the comparative method played an important role. Among 19 Cossack strategies, 16 have similarities in the military art of the ancient troops. 3 strategies have revealed the feature of the martial art of the Cossacks.
