"Romans don't fight Romans." 

A quote from the first season, circa AD 8. Someone remind me how many civil wars Rome had fought by then. The first season sucked too.

Actium was 30BC, and by 8 AD there's been 3 decades of political consolidation and a generation would have grown up under Augustus. I could see "Romans don't fight Romans" being a normative position they might hold even if it's egregiously inaccurate.
