The link is not working, maybe it is in some protected page?

Were I the professor, I would have returned it right away for corrections. Formally this is... hmmm... not so good. Secondary sources? Someone did not pay attention in class...

Thanks Alexandr, got it!
Messy work, many mistakes, fuzzy use of terminology, too little reliance on primary sources, most of it is just pointless. Polybius' comparison is half a page and much more helpful. Apart from clumsily parroting broad arguments and descriptions stated a thousand times, absolutely no tactical understanding or insight of the Roman or any other system mentioned. Hope he rewrote it...

Thanks to those who have had a chance to read this and comment. I hope to read it soon myself. Alas, this sadly speaks ill of higher education. Sigh....
