Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, commonly referred to simply as
Vegetius, was a writer of the
Later Roman Empire (late fourth century). Nothing is known of his life or station beyond what he tells us in his two surviving works:
Epitoma rei militaris (also referred to as
De Re Militari), and the lesser-known
Digesta Artis Mulomedicinae, a guide to
veterinary medicine.
