It is the only ancient manual of Roman military institutions to have survived intact. The treatise is carefully laid out in subsections. They are organized into four books. The fourth book on siege-craft contains the best description of Late Empire and Medieval siege machines. The German edition updated and included 16th century weaponry some that are quite fanciful.
