Well... I can hardly take any position at all or help in any way I can if I do not understand the core of the proposal. "Judge" is a highly strong word and I deliberately did not use it, since comments can be of a non-judgemental, constructive nature. As I understand thus far, you suggest that the way the Romans perceived the cosmos, where by cosmos you mean the heavenly bodies and their relation to earth and each other, governed the numbers and sizes of many administrative issues like the number of tribes, their population (which would have been controlled so that it would correspond to these numbers), as well as their military organization regarding the structure of their legions, the sizes of the legions' subdivisions in every branch of the army, maybe even the number of levied legions? And this would have been the case from 500 BC to 200 AD with every change obeying to these heavenly mathematical relations in order to be accepted. Have I understood it correctly thus far?
