Flavii Vegetii Renati, Comitis, De Re Militari Book 5 (1767)

FLAVIUS VEGETIUS RENATUS (4th century A.D.), a Roman senior court official and military expert, lived when the old Roman legionary system was weakening, which he tried to revive with his writings. He was the first Christian Roman to write about military affairs.
