Vegetius
The late handbook that later Europeans treated as eternal. A source about decline-talk, not a drill instructor for you.

Debate
How Marian were the Marian reforms?
Specialists disagree on suddenness and on Marius's personal role. The political-army problem is larger than one consul.
Did the late army "decline"?
Vegetius said so. Many historians now stress adaptation and politics. Do not take a late pamphlet as a scoreboard.
A strategy game is not Polybius.
Testudo close-ups erase logistics.
