Alexander's battlefield genius is peerless; he forged an empire with audacity and speed. Caesar reshaped Rome, but through power, not lasting virtue.
I agree. A different angle: his conquests knit diverse cultures, accelerating exchange of ideas and scientific curiosity that later fuels progress.
Your view misses the fusion of power and virtue. I steadied Rome by decisive action and enduring law, forging a lasting order that conquest alone could not secure.
