Summary
Montesquieu’s influence on the development of modern public law
is undisputed, but he also played a very important role in shaping the
perception of the Roman art of war. Like Machiavelli, he devoted a considerable amount of attention to Roman disciplina militaris. His comments were quite general, but they exerted a substantial influence on
the opinions of scholars of military discipline. Along with Lipsius and
Machiavelli, he was one of the most cited authors, and his perception
of military discipline was even reflected in some of the arrangements
employed in the French army under the First Republic. Research on the
reception of Roman ideas on the art of war usually stops at the Middle
Ages, but Montesquieu’s work as a writer and his impact on later scholars
are the best justification for studying his opinions on this issue. |
