“The outcome of the battle was generally acknowledged by both winners and losers because by waging war both parties had tacitly entered a contract of chance. Chance, or sors, as jurists called it, formed the basis for the legitimacy of victory, but to have a legally binding effect, the pitched battle was regarded as a whole.”
