German to English
Art/Literary
History
from a history book about the Emperor Augustus
"Zunächst war es notwendig, eine Truppenstärke zu kalkulierren, die für die Verteidigung und Arrondierung des Reiches zugleich hinreichend groß und aus den zur Verfügung stehenden knappen Ressourcen bezahlbar war."
The meaning being referred to here is presumably :
Arrondierung, Zusammenlegung von Grundbesitz. Arrondierung kann auf privater Basis oder im Rahmen einer amtlich durchgeführten Flurbereinigung erfolgen
(from online Duden)
However, still doesn't make a lot of sense, as well as being difficult to put into English: "defence and combining of lands of the Empire.."
Anyone got a suggestion as to what the author means - Erklärungen auch auf deutsch willkommen
tahnks to all in advance

Romain (4th Ed.) suggests \"rounding-off (property by purchase), consolidation of small farm-holdings (setting up economically-sized farming units); ~skauf rounding-off purchase.\"

: The 1931 Muret-Sanders offers "policy of rounding off one's lands or estates" for Arrondierungspolitik; *consolidation* is one way to go
