De re militari - The Art of War in Ancient Rome

Vegetius

Sinopse

In "De re militari," Vegetius offers a comprehensive examination of military strategy and tactics, presenting a detailed guide for Roman military practices that resonates through the ages. Written in a clear and systematic style, the treatise emphasizes the importance of discipline, training, and the moral character of soldiers. Vegetius deftly amalgamates historical examples with poignant insights, reflecting the military climate of late antiquity, when the Roman Empire faced increasing external pressures. His work not only serves as a manual for commanders but also highlights the ideological underpinnings of military strength, linking preparedness with the stability of the state. Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, a Roman author typically associated with the late 4th century AD, lived during a time of transformation for the Roman military. His background and experiences within a crumbling empire may have influenced his desire to compile and reformulate military wisdom for both contemporary and future audiences. Vegetius's unique perspective, advocating for a return to discipline and classical virtues amid decline, reflects his concern for the Roman state, embedding his work in the historical context of military reform. "De re militari" is essential reading for historians, military scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of military thought. Vegetius's insights remain relevant, providing not only a glimpse into the tactical frameworks of Rome but also timeless lessons in leadership and governance. This book will enhance your appreciation of military practices and their historical significance.

Sumerian Origins - Lifting the...

Norah Romney

A Mysterious Group of People came to settle in southern Mesopotamia, sometime around 5400BC. What is now the modern state of Iraq, the first city of Mesopotamia was founded named Eridu. Although historians have generally regarded this as the world’s first city, we have seen this challenged on numerous occasions by recent discoveries too numerous to mention here. Eridu had all the things we ordinarily associate with an ancient city: temples, administrative buildings, housing, agriculture, markets, art, and, of course, walls to keep out unsavoury characters.The elusive aspect is we have absolutely no idea where they acquired their language, and bizarre language it is, we have no idea what they originally looked like. Their language, which we call Sumerian, and the subsequent Akkadian derivative were linguistic isolates. Sumerian is the oldest known written language on Earth, and any languages it might have derived from or developed alongside have been lost to time. Figuring out what their baffling ethnic identity based on their art is a doomed effort, because their art was so stylized that a good case could be made that it portrays people of any ethnicity, or the people they encountered. The Sumerian language was not Semitic, and the Akkadian conquests of 2334 BCE disrupted the ethnic and cultural isolation of the Sumerian people.
