Go to war

It is undoubtedly the most famous treatise on the art of war to have seen the day in the West. An essential work whose reputation has not waned between the 5th and 19th centuries. Its title? On the military thing (De re militari). Its author is a certain Vegetius (? - around 450), a high official of the Late Empire Roman and who was in no way a military man. It is therefore not a treaty written on the basis of war experience, but from a manual eminently practical, thoughtful, comprehensive, concerning the best ways of to wage a war, both from the point of view of the combatants, the weapons, and that of of tactics and strategy. An art of waging battles, both on land that at sea, a science of the effective means which must be employed there, such as know how to stage them, in a masterly way, the astonishing engravings of this treatise on the art of war. Exceptional engravings where one can discover, with curiosity, with amazement, ingenuity, unparalleled inventiveness, the skill, the wit, the cunning, the imagination, the creativity that must be done proof to be able to win and cry victory.
