Hello,<br>

thanks,<br>

I did end up buying it since I'd read parts of it in visits to the books store. I'm in the middle of it now. It does offer a unique view into how Romans viewed strategy and formulated policy. <p></p><i></i>

I have Susan Matterns book and found it to be one of the best in its topic. Mattern is also a babe acording to her jacket photo. What more can you ask for looks, brains, and can discuss the Roman Empire.... All she need more is to own a bar...<br>

who would date Susan even without the bar <p></p><i></i>

I cant help it. I was born straight! I know it's not right, and not Politicaly Correct, but my orientation is towards women!<br>
<br>
Actually Kathy has a sense of humor and doesn't take me too seriously. I asked her if she wanted to reply to this, but she said she would rather go get ice cream.<br>
<br>
Besides, she voted for Bill Clinton. Twice.<br>

Who when Kathy read this response corrected my spelling. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gaiusdeciusaquilius@romanarmytalk>Gaius Decius Aquilius</A> at: 6/18/03 1:06 am<br></i>

Very interesting book. Get it. Definitely better than Luttwak's "Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire". <p></p><i></i>
