A fascinating 5th century reference book with plenty of interesting information regarding how the Romans waged war and kept their military organized and trained. ( ) Considered one of the most important military treatise from Roman times to the nineteenth century, Provides a detailed account of Roman Army with an abreviated book on the Roman Navy. Wish I had read this book in my earlier years as it would have been a constant reference source and used as an object of discussion during my military service. This is a good no-frills edition of Vegetius classic work. He was the source fof military science for many Medieval generals but it's unsure how much influence he had in his own time. He seems to be discussing ideals based on classical Roman warfare rather than actual military practice of the 5th century. There's also no evidence that he was actually a soldier himself. Still, it's an interesting read. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
