I liked (it's a wrong verb, maybe "resonated with" would be more to the point) Marc Faber's musing about empires (from Augustus to Traian). Additional viewpoints: the last centuries of Roman empire were founded on pretorian guards, i.e. on the military power of the empire, provided by its outskirts (like Iberic peninsula).
