For strategy, see Elton 1996, 199-233, and Le Bohec 2006, chap.X-XI.The 'grand strategy' as defined by Luttwak (1976) is rejected in favour of a particular strategy (Le Bohec 2012) or no strategy at all (Isaac 1989).3 The best known along the frontiers are those of Diocletian, Constantine and Valentinian.Zosimus, Historia Nova 2.34, confirms the impression that the frontiers were secured everywhere by Diocletian, with major and lesser fortresses garrisoned by the entire army (Southern/ Dixon 1996, 24).Amm.Marc.(28, 2) praises Valentinian for building a defensive line from Raetia to the Channel.4 Luttwak's (1976) 'grand strategy' theory has been much criticised
