You can hardly assign an undergraduate - or suggest to a non-academic - plowing through Isaac's Limits of Empire, leavened with Wheeler's Methological Limits. It's just not accessible. Hoyos has a good companion up to Trajan, but, companions...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have my own thoughts on how the idea might be better approached, but the writing queue is long and the days are short.
