Flavius Vegetius Renatus

    1 janvier 0400 – 1 janvier 0450

    On sait peu de choses sur cet auteur au-delà de ses deux œuvres survivantes, l'une un traité sur la stratégie militaire et l'autre un guide de médecine vétérinaire. Ces textes offrent une fenêtre unique sur l'Empire romain tardif, examinant ses pratiques militaires et son approche des soins aux animaux. Bien que le style d'écriture ne corresponde pas aux sensibilités littéraires modernes, sa valeur réside dans sa franchise et son contenu informatif. Ces œuvres restent essentielles pour les universitaires et les passionnés d'histoire militaire romaine et de pratiques vétérinaires antiques.
