Part of the backstory for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Does any of this sound familiar?

One of if not my favorite sci-fi book. Although I wonder how much of that is due to having been in the military and coming from a military family. I do love the ideals as well as the idea of earning citizenship
It's heavily based on the Roman model of citizenship, something also well worth reading up on.
Thanks! Any recommendations for a book on the Roman Empire? I’ve always wondered how the country would look if only veterans could vote
Pliny is always good, or any analysis thereof.
Oh. Ok. I’m aware of his writings but haven’t dived into it
Plutarch's On Sparta
Thanks!
Depends on how much of a read you want. An condensed, annotated Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire would be an option. As with all history, the older the book, the better.
SPQR!
Thanks!
