The only Latin art of war to survive, Vegetius' Epitome was for
long a part of the medieval prince's military education. The core
of his proposals, the maintenance of a professional standing army,
was revolutionary for medieval Europe, while his theory of
deterrence through strength remains the foundation of modern
Western defence policy.
A classic of the ancient world of warfare
De Re Militari (Concerning Military Affairs), written in the 5th
century by Vegetius and translated from the original Latin, is a
treatise on warfare in the Roman world and is vital reading for any
modern student of the subject as it clearly outlines the methods
and practices of the type of warfare waged by the Roman Empire at
the height of its power. So influential was Vegetius' book that it
was considered as an essential field-guide well into the age of
gunpowder. The author covers a broad range of military topics
including the selection of personnel suitable for military service,
training, logistics and supply, the qualities of leadership and
command as well as tactical and strategic matters.
