The work of which he speaks actually dates from the thirteenth century and, according to Sabbadini, was extracted from the authentic De re militari of Vegetius, the famed Roman writer on military matters in the early fifth century CE. Roman general Vegetius is credited with having coined this phrase. In the Fourth Century, Vegetius wrote "Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum"-Let him who desires peace, prepare for war (Brandt, page 1). |
