"I certainly had the impression that Goldsworthy knew the relevant sources and was familiar with the historiographical controversies"
He's one of the leading experts on it
Just as a disclaimer I study War Studies at King's College London and he's widely recommended as a go to guy to read/email if you're wanting to know more about Rome.
He's good to read as he generally aims his books at the non-academic (always a good thing!) but he still injects enough academic stuff into them if you're looking to get into it a bit more seriously.
If you're interested in reading more of his work on the Roman Empire I'd suggest these two:
