Those two were both armchair historians, not sure if Arrian or Polybius ever made similar predications.
Just looked that up (yay for google). Livius seems to be be making a rather strong argument. Im going to make a threat about that.

On-topic, I destroy all the wonders that give me no bonusses due to my faction (such as the docks of carthage when playing rome) Anything that gives me bonusses I leave standing, because you cant rebuild it. I only destroy those wonders when playing on VH and you really need money.
