"They plunder, they slaughter, and they steal: this they falsely name Empire, and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace."

["Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant."]

- Calgacus, a chieftain of the Caledonian Confederacy, rallying his supporters against Roman Legions c. AD 83. Quoted by Tacitus.
