Dammit, my institution has INEXPLICABLY ceased its subscription to the OED, or at least I can only get a message saying that my Athens login does not include this service. Even on campus. It's infuriating, though I imagine it has something to do with the Lancashire libraries' subscription, which I can use.
Bellum on its own is "the state of war", isn't it? So ante-bellum makes some sense.
