Germanicus Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd looked for one before, and just found this one for anyone interested. Can anyone point me in the direction of a hard copy translation for purchase ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd looked for one before, and just found this one for anyone interested. Can anyone point me in the direction of a hard copy translation for purchase ? This one seems to be the most reasonably priced but I have no clue on the quality of the translation. There are no reviews and the author description, "Flavius Vegetius Renatus wrote an instruction manual for the Roman military. He was well qualified as a soldier and author." seems to lack the basic criticism that nobody knows who he was, or what actual qualifications he may have had. Other versions available through Amazon seem to be pushing $100. Perhaps there are other options available locally for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Have you tried the sites like Perseus,Classics Library, Ancient Books(?), and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanicus Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks both of you, I haven't checked out the antiquarian bookshop in Melbourne, so will probably do that before anything else - that one on Amazon for $9.95 strikes me as a bit strange too Primus.

Divi Filius Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) I managed to get the first three books in translation through this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/081172194...ng=UTF8&s=books But books 4 and 5 were taken out unfortunately. Those were short little books involving sieging and naval operations. Edited April 18, 2006 by Divi Filius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
