A galant attempt, Spartan JKM.
I am very glad to see Nero Claudius Drusus and his son Iulius Caesar Germanicus listed under your second tier. However I do feel bound to say that Alexander the Great is generally overrated as a commander. I set out my reasons why when comparing Nero Claudius Drusus to him in the Assessment chapter of my forthcoming book, 'Eager for Glory: The Untold Story of Drusus the Elder, Conqueror of Germania' (pre-order now on Amazon and at other good bookstores - sorry for the undisguised plug).
I'd be happy to engage in detailed debate for raising Nero Claudius Drusus to a higher status after my book is released to the public on 23 March 2011. Meantime, John D. Grainger makes a compelling contra case in 'Alexander the Great Failure: The Collapse of the Macedonian Empire' (2007) which deserves a wide readership.
