Piling through Livy looking at his standard beginning-of-year passages, I do not know how the 'Romans didn't do strategy' limits-of-empire thesis survived editing. Sure, that argument is for the Empire...but do we assume the Romans just forgot how to do strategy in 31?

Luttwak's book is a real mixed bag - he has some good observations, but his lack of classical training also shows quite badly at points. One of the files in my 'to do' projects folder is an approach on this question, so maybe one day I'll do that, if I ever have time

I'd like to read that! If I may: how far do you see the process of 'who goes where' as foreign policy vs high politics: is the strategy Rome's, or that of individual senators, perhaps with clashing aims? And how far do the 'seeing like a state' ideas in your EU4 blog matter here?
