International law and laws of war
#7
Roman had laws of war (which were not common to every ennemies they fought) : for example, civilians could rightfully be enslaved after their army was defeated
As embassies hadn't present extension, normal relationships between states included hostages, who could be asked as guaranty after an ennemy's submission
Besieged cities could surrender with no consequence before the first "aries" knocks their walls : they were then treated as allied, but the longer the siege, the harder the punishment after victory.
