	Vegetius
		The fourth and fifth books deal with siege warfare and the Roman navy respectively.
		Vegetius was translated into several languages, and the books printed for public consumption as early as the 15th century.
		With the accession of Napoleon and the advent of modern warfare over the next 2 centuries, Vegetius had fallen out of favor from a military education standpoint.

	Training
		The historian Vegetius tells us that it was seen as of greatest importance to the Roman army that its soldiers could march at speed.
		For this, we are told by Vegetius, during the summer months the soldiers were to be marched twenty Roman miles (18.4 miles/29.6 km), which had to be completed in five hours.
		Vegetius notes that weapons training was given such importance that in some places roofed riding schools and drill halls were built to allow for training to continue throughout the winter.

	Vegetius, Het Romeinse leger, handboek voor de generaal
		Inderdaad was het Romeinse leger uit Vegetius’ tijd nauwelijks vergelijkbaar met de gedisciplineerde legioenen die vanaf de tweede eeuw voor Christus het enorme rijk hadden veroverd.
		Vegetius zocht in de Romeinse legerorganisatie van vroeger tijden een model om het Romeinse leger in zijn oude glorie te herstellen.
		Vegetius was echter en civiele fuctionaris en geen militair.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.01.13
		Vegetius provides a detailed description of military equipment, organization and practice and is thus an invaluable source for Roman military historians.
		Vegetius' date is uncertain, the parameters being 383-450 (the earliest date being a mention of Gratian [375-383] as deified, the latest a note in the manuscript from a scribe at Constantinople).
		Vegetius describes himself as a "vir illustris et comes." Müller offers the possibility that he was comes sacrarum largitionum, but the discussion shows no comfort with the details of late antique titulature: neither here nor in the introduction (12-13) does one receive any sense of just how powerful illustres were.

	Roman Army Tactics
		There were also many examples of surprise tactics made by detaching a small unit which suddenly emerged from a hidden place with much dust and noise to make the enemy believe that reinforcements had arrived.
		Vegetius (Frontinus) is full of the oddest stratagems to mislead the enemy or demoralize his troops.
		This important section of Vegetius closes with the tactics to be used in the case of a withdrawal in the face of the enemy.

	On the Pell
		Vegetius described innovations to Roman training as being based on the gladiator pattern, stating how: “a stake was planted in the ground by each recruit in such a manner that it projected six feet in height and could not sway.
		On “The Post Exercise” Vegetius wrote: “We are informed by the writings of the ancients that, among their other exercises, they had that of the post.
		Vegetius was careful to point out that a deficiency in cutting with the sword was that the fighter exposed his right flank to the enemy more so than he did with a straight stabbing action.

	Naval Institute Proceedings Magazine: Naval Institute Proceedings: Legion Lessons for Today's Marines by Major William ...
		Vegetius insists that every recruit be taught how to swim and march in military step; that they be able to hit a target with a javelin and an arrow; and that they march with a 60-pound "burden" while learning to construct a base camp in the field.
		Vegetius ascribes the former invincibility of the ancient legion to a balanced combined arms team, with emphasis on heavy infantry.
		Vegetius most likely would encourage us not only to keep these evolutions going strong, but also to continue to strive to make every Marine a MAFTF Marine first, one who appreciates the importance of combined arms.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 01.01.13, Mu+ller, Vegetius: Abriss des Milita+rwesens
		Vegetius provides a detailed description of military equipment, organization and practice and is thus an invaluable source for Roman military historians.
		Vegetius' date is uncertain, the parameters being 383-450 (the earliest date being a mention of Gratian [375-383] as deified, the latest a note in the manuscript from a scribe at Constantinople).
		Any understanding of Vegetius has to start by assuming that he (or his sources) used their technical vocabulary correctly--the difference between a verutum and a spiculum meant something to someone in antiquity.

	The King
		While Vegetius is very important to study, in relation to the middle ages, we need not forget about other writers who wrote on military topics whose works are not wholly based on Vegetius and who often are working within other frame works.
		Vegetius mentioned thing in detail like which kinds of stones go where but the author of Speculum Regale mentions things that would have to have been prepared ahead of time but doesn’t tell you to prepare them just to use them.
		While the King’s Mirror shows the definite influence of Vegetius on the warfare of the ages it is not clear wether or not the author of a King’s Mirror had actually read or been exposed to Vegetius directly.

	Hello Vegetius \| History
		Vegetius used his sharp red mouth to chew up the roots, which supplied him with vitamins, minerals, stored water and fiber.
		I ran as fast as I could, but Vegetius was too close and began to lower his head to stab me with his sharp head.
		I was amazed that Vegetius had lost power and had been taken down simply by hitting the jewel on his back.

	WorldNetDaily: An ancient Roman still speaks
		What Vegetius says about discipline and training are as true now as when they were written.
		Vegetius tells us they trained on swords, javelins, slings and some on bows and arrows.
		Here is Vegetius' description of a centurion, the leader of 100 infantrymen: "The centurion in the infantry is chosen for his size, strength and dexterity in throwing his missile weapons and for his skill in the use of his sword and shield; in short, for his expertness in all the exercises.

	Vegetius Renatus Webpage
		Vegetius' sources, according to his own statement, were Cato, Cornelius Celsus, Frontinus, Paternus and the imperial constitutions of Augustus, Trajan and Hadrian.
		The book, which is a confused and unscientific compilation, has to be used with great caution, but is none the less invaluable to the student of the ancient art of war.
		Vegetius' work was translated into French, English, and various other Western European languages.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is difficult for a non-specialist reader to disentangle the chronological threads within Vegetius' writing, and so Milner's new translation of the Epitoma Rei Militaris, with a useful introduction and excellent notes, is of tremendous value in making the work more accessible to a wider audience of general historians, non-classical military historians, and students.
		Technical terminology either is given in Latin in the body of the translation and translated and glossed in a note, or vice versa, translated, with the Latin in the notes.
		Milner is to be congratulated on producing what is by far the best English translation of Vegetius available, and one that will be of tremendous value to anyone with an interest in the Roman army and Latin technical manuals.
