Zusammenfassung
The sistematic employment of the phrase imperator inuictus in the Epitomia rei militaris in Vegetius's direct appeals to the Emperor �assuming his identification with Theodosius the Great� can be interpretd to have a well-distinct aim. The analysis of the use of this phrase in the latin literature serves to define ist nature, connotations and nuances in a better way. The insistence of Vegetius on presenting Theodosius as the imperator inuictus is in consonance with the propaganda carried out by this Emperor when he arrived to the imperial throne.
