Paullus, am I correct in guessing that George Patton is on your (modern) list of greats, given your signature?
As to my question, I did not mean to ask who was simply the most successful or who had the greatest area of conquest - for that could more easily lend itself to circumstance and timing (although those are always factors).
What interests me the most is knowing who was the most "able". I would define that as someone who made the most of each situation, was innovative, as well as brilliant both offensively and defensively, and exhibited great leadership to his men.
