===============================================
Publius (or Flavius) Vegetius Renatus, known as Vegetius , was a writer of the Later Roman Empire (late 4th century).
Nothing is known of his life or station beyond what is contained 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.
He identifies himself in the opening of his work Epitoma rei militaris as a Christian.
