My book is still talking about the same thing since the last time. In the 6th chapter the author explain how should be threaten the neighbors kings. It is also about how kings should react to a war. It says that if they try to postpone it, or to leave small people attacking their territories then it becomes always a loss. In the case of Republican territories conquered, the possibilities are 2: moving to the place and try to impose conquerors' laws with the strength, or destroy some of their cities so that they get scared by the new king. A passage that impressed me a lot was the example the author used to prove this thing. One example is the Roman Emperor. They always threaten colonies very smartly, and they never left going a rebellion. This is the reason why they were so powerful. Then it says that Spartans tried to keep Athene and Tebe making a state governed by few of them. In this way they lost them. The Romans to keep Cartagine, Capua and Numanzia destroyed them, and they did not loose them. The Roman's mistake was in Greece; they wanted to let them free. After a while they realized they couldn't go on like that and they had to destroy a lot of cities to keep Greece. I don't have any example to show this characteristics because these are polithical decisions.
