Some modern historians, such as Maurice Holleaux, accepts Livys concept of fides, as standing behind the foreign policy of the Roman Republic, and therefore that the Romans always reacted, not acted, that their foreign policy developed under their enemies coercion and constraint, and that, whenever possible, the Romans always tried to go back on their conquests. This thesis had been lately proposed once more by Gruen. On the other hand, other historians, such as Robert Harris, argue that the Roman Republic aimed from the beginning at conquest and developed an articulated imperialist policy of war and intervention. See E.S. Gruen, Polybius and Josephus on Rome, in J. Pastor, P. Stern, M. Mor (eds.), Flavius Josephus, Interpretation and History, Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 146, Leiden 2011, pp. 149-162. See also W.
