Wow, could you narrow it down a bit ? <br>
<br>
Any Roman, huh ? Emperor or otherwise ? Any period ?<br>
<br>
I can break down my favorites by century.<br>
<br>
1st century BC : Pompeius Magnus<br>
<br>
1st century AD : Corbulo<br>
<br>
2nd century AD : Marcus Aurelius<br>
<br>
3rd century AD : Aurelian<br>
<br>
4th century AD : Constantine the Great<br>
<br>
5th century AD : Aetius<br>
<br>
6th century AD : Belisarius<br>
<br>
Well there are my top seven - all great generals with the exception of Marcus Aurelius who had no contact with the legions before his accension/coranation, otherwise a great man. <p></p><i></i>
