In regards to the Imperial Roman MIC

[Robert Vermaat]

My only objection would be to the use of the term ‘MIC’.

Would there be a better word for MIC to use? I'd admit that I spent a few minutes thinking about words that would fit the Roman economy better, but came to naught

I am thinking along the lines that 'MIC' suggests something modern: "a concept commonly used to refer to policy and monetary relationships between legislators, national armed forces, and the defense industrial base that supports them." But perhaps I'm thinking too modern?
