Dispute over Land or Dispute over Borders? Legal Aspects of Interstate Conflicts in the Achaean Koinon

Within the Achaean Koinon peace among the member-states was an absolute prerequisite for close collaboration and the consistent pursuit of common goals. Violent confrontations had to be averted and prevented. Therefore peace-building measures such as mediation, conciliation and interstate arbitration were employed regularly. The question of how much of an influence the federal government was able to exert on the parties to the dispute has not yet been conclusively settled and has taken on new significance following the discovery of a long inscription in Messene.
