nice read, im still reading about the roman empire so it was fun to see hes points and views..
Beautiful. It's nice to see I'm not alone, most people won't even admit that Constantinople was the Empire and not some bastard son.
[War's] glory is all moonshine; even success most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families.

Nice article, most of it is true IMO, with some radical suggestions like the comment on Julian the Apostate.

That is correct, I just don't agree with the rather Christian reaction to Julian's actions.
