I've always liked Tacitus -- I should really brush up my Latin so I can enjoy 
reading him again,

"trucidare rapere falsis nominibus imperium, atque ubi solitudinem faciunt, 
pacem appellant"

 "To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and 
where they make a desert, they call it peace." 

(Oxford Revised Translation)

Coincidentally (it must have something to do with the season and the phases of 
the moon), I picked up Livy's same book this week.  I've only read the first 
few pages, enough to know I want to continue reading.  As I read further I'll 
take another look at your blog post.
