Having been re-reminded - I have to echo Alexander and Macedon; for there is a voting area completely missing....
The big civil war of Caesar-Pompey was only eclipsed by the following with Octavian/Antony v Brutus/Cassius. Some 40 legions + 'auxiliaries' actually fought each other, whilst perhaps another 20 still kept Spain, Gaul, Africa, Egypt and the Eastern provinces well under control.
Certainly at no other time was that actual coherent quantity seen again. Overall quality was certainly as high as at any other time.
Organisationally I believe in much less change over the years than some do, simply a slow evolutionary change to more flexibility.
