‘The common Latin language, the coinage, the “international” army of the Roman legions, the urban network, the law, and the Greco-Roman heritage of civic culture loomed largest among those bonds that Augustus and his successors hoped would bring unity and peace to a Mediterranean world exhausted by centuries of civil war.’*

I am glad to see this description of the fighting between ‘States’ in the Mediterranean World, from at least the beginning of the Hellenic period, as ‘civil war’ – corresponding as it does to the (-G~-)-R~-C period of the 2048 year cycle, on a ‘regional’ scale.
