im not an expert, but i wouldn't use a nominative, just an accusative:
"pacem", since it is a sort of motto.

good point.Originally Posted by Obelics
abou's line about via is yet to be answered also - respenus, i'd hold off using his 3 words at the mo. although you can be fairly certain it's a form of pax/pacem and vis/vim/vi
inde consilivm mihi pavca de Avgvsto et extrema tradere, mox Tiberii principatum et cetera, sine ira et stvdio, qvorvm cavsas procvl habeo.
From what little I remember, I would assume that Romans etc. would've used only two words. One being 'peace' and the other the abblative of 'force'. (An abblative on its own means 'with' + noun 'by' + noun 'from' + noun 'in' + noun already.)
EDIT: A more verbose alternative would be something with a(b) + abblative. But especially in slogans etc, the shorter the better.
