Finding roman and other ancient military sources online?
#1

If this is in the wrong in the wrong spot I apologize it was never my intention to spam.

And then there is Bill Thayer's site, which is one of my all-time favourites.

He has a subsection for Roman military history:

Well, maybe not about military authors but an overview of the roman emperors.

Is there an English translation of Aneas Tacticus or Onasander online?

Bill Thayer's web site is good; I would especially recommend the Stratagems of Frontinus.
