The band itself is made up of men; it is ruled by the authority of a prince, it is knit together by the pact of the confederacy; the [[booty]] is divided by the law agreed on. [...] Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to [[Alexander the Great]] by a [[piracy|pirate]] who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, 'What do you mean by seizing the whole earth; because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a [[robber]], while you who does it with a great fleet are styled [[emperor]]'."--''[[The City of God]]'' (5th century) by [[St. Augustine]] | + | |
