The Military Institutions of the Romans (original title in Latin De re militari) is a treatise by Vegetius, a 4th century Roman writer about Roman warfare and military principles. This treatise taught the lessons of the Ancient Roman way of war to the political and military leadership of the 4th century. During the following centuries, The Military Institutions of the Romans became the most influential military guide for military leaders and officers throughout Europe from the Middle Ages into the 18th and 19th centuries. Even today, it is a valued source of policy and strategy relevant to modern day Western armies. The current abridged edition, including Books I-III, was translated by Lieutenant John Clarke in 1767.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetius' late Roman text became a well-known and highly respected 'classic' in the Middle Ages, transformed by its readers into the authority on the waging of war. Christopher Allmand analyses the medieval afterlife of the De Re Militari, tracing the growing interest in the text from the Carolingian world to the late Middle Ages, suggesting how the written word may have influenced the development of military practice in that period. While emphasising that success depended on a commander's ability to outwit the enemy with a carefully selected, well-trained and disciplined army, the De Re Militari inspired other unexpected developments, such as that of the 'national' army, and helped create a context in which the role of the soldier assumed greater social and political importance. Allmand explores the significance of the text and the changes it brought for those who accepted the implications of its central messages.
