While "peace" was certainly the rallying cry of activists in the 60s calling for the end of US military intervention in Vietnam, the notion of peace has not always had such anti-war tones. The Romans' campaign of warfare which snuffed out petty tribal disputes in Europe with crushing military might was dubbed "Pax Romana" that is, "Roman Peace". It was thought that war, at the right moment in history, could prevent unrest from spreading across whole continents.
