Scepticism about Vegetius\' analysis of the Late Roman Army?

[Ironhand]

Sean is definately right. Medievals were very fond of him. Fabrizzio in particular from Macchievelli's Art of War, forgive sp. Vegetius's suggestions made a lot more sense from the Medieval Period point of view than probably were relevant at the time he wrote. The reforms suggested really would have made a great difference in Medieval combat if it was possible to have them utilized. Its very interesting reading Fabrizzio's critique of Vegetius from a later, more military educated point of view.
