'La Militia Romana' was written as a scheme for military strategy in the city of Ferrara. Patrizi provides a thorough and detailed analysis for Roman military functions, organization, and ancient battle strategies.

The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two?
