This is a great question and eminently answerable. Maybe one of these days I’ll sit down and crunch the data. There’s more than enough data points to get some idea. https://twitter.com/kickynew/status/1223690259487170571 …
So, I'm thinking how I'd do it, for say, something like the 2nd Punic. And it gets complicated fast. Are we looking at overall deployments or individual armies? What operations are offensive or defensive?

Or take something like the Roman response to the Illyrian revolt. Is that an offensive action - power being projected from Germany/Moesia/Italy, or a defensive one (suppressing a revolt)? It's a huge force concentration.

And you'd have to focus a single society in a narrow-time frame. It's no good comparing a Roman offensive to a Macedonian defense - those states are working with very different resource pools. You'd need a lot of little case studies to get any kind of sample.
