Not so. The rules are broken with impunity by those with enough force to back them.


But that's power, stupid, not gold.


Look at Gaius Julias Ceasar. He crossed the Rubicon with his Legions and it was against the rules. But he got away with it.


Until the Ides of March...

The Augustus got away with it by becomeing the first king of Rome in over 500 years.



And Caesar's family had got rich from the rules, which was what
allowed him to attain command of legions in the first place.

That is because Ceasar's family -made- the rules by which they got rich.
