From what source springs the law of nations or even this law which is called ‘civil’? Where do justice, faith, and equity come from?”
unde enim pietas, aut a quibus religio? unde ius aut gentium aut hoc ipsum civile quod dicitur? unde iustitia fides aequitas? #Cicero
People like to point to the Thirty Years' War as the origin of international law, but there was such a rich corpus of Roman Law (and Greek/Egyptian/Anatolian) that, for a long time, defined international norms. Cicero would've been welcome with the Founding Fathers of the U.S.
