Vegetius Book Translation - Doc - 01-27-2014
Hello,
I apologize if the title may be misleading but I am looking to purchase Vegetius' De Re Militari. Is there a most recommended English version that I should purchase?
Thanks

Ciao Francesco,
Thank you for the link. I hoped that I could have an English copy for download to read. However, what you gave me will do just fine.

Yes - this one:
Vegetius - Milner translation
It's the best easily available modern English translation, as far as I know - most of the others are based on incomplete translations made a very time ago... ;-)

Hello Nathan,
Thanks for the advice. Will get it through amazon here in the US.
Cheers
