First sentence: BECAUSE of the successful wars of conquest which L. describes in books vii-x, the size of the Roman state had grown from c.2,005 km2 in the mid-340s to c.5,525 km2 in the mid-330s and to c.6,285 km2 by 300, and, with further successful warfare, was to grow to c.15,295 km2 by the mid-280s.
