    O manual militar como artefato cultural : Vegécio e a ordenação do passado romano no Compêndio da arte militar (século IV d. C.)
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Tavares, Wendryll José Bento
    Our objective in this article is to point out Vegetius’ Epitoma rei Militaris as a military manual, that is, a type of discourse constructed in Late Antiquity in which the author presents himself as a master of warlike themes, interested in teaching readers and listeners techniques capable of resuming the glorious roman past in the field of martial disputes. From the use of the concept of cyclical time and the elaboration of sets of examples, facts, and mythological and historical characters, Vegetius produced a report that was based on traditional knowledge to guarantee the Romans the return of warlike victories in Late Antiquity.
