For the latter, try Edward Luttwak, The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire. Anthony Birley's Marcus Aurelius is very good. Just two that immediately spring to mind. You might try Arthur Ferrill's Decline of the Roman Empire: the Military Explanation, but I've never read it so can't say whether it speaks to M. Aurelius or not.<br>
