In fact, yes, 'rediscovered' through his multi-volume De architectura. My wife did her PhD in Renaissance architecture.

Funny, I don't *think* (it was late) the list of Writers and Philosophers I was looking at last night had Vitruvius on it... I was going to go for Ovid or one of the Plinys.
Nice work, S&C.

Wikipedia doesn't call him a philosopher, but I think it's pretty fair to call De Architectura a philosophical work.

Given the information, particularly your response to the question of whether he was dead, and my gut told me famous architect who contributed to the military as well.
Vitruvius was the only person to come to mind (:
