"There was a military strategist, a guy named Edward Luttwak, who wrote this book, "The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire," which was basically about frontiers and how the Romans defined their frontier. And everybody's jumped on this and argued about it, and says it's wrong and all, but it started this debate among Roman historians about, yeah, what does frontier mean to the Romans?"
