De Munitionibus Castrorum, formerly attributed to Hyginus, is a compact work of the first or early second century AD, which provides our most detailed extant descriptions of how to set up a temporary Roman military camp. The surviving manuscript source is a fragment, damaged and distorted in many places. Here Schele prints both the manuscript text, as well as an edited and interpolated text with spaces and punctuation provided. It is supplemented with an extract on the same topic from Polybius's Histories and an enormous body of commentary, many times the length of the original texts, which amounts to a history of the Roman military.
