* The '''Principate era''' (''414 - 1070 AD''), marked by a series of civil wars and internal political conflict, centers around the reorganization of the Republic and creation of the Constitution of Caphiria. This era also marks the early stages of the city-state evolving into a proper empire, with vast territorial holdings, hegemony over ''Latium'', and was among the most powerful economic, cultural, political and military forces in the world of its time. | *The '''Principate era''' (''414 - 1070 AD''), marked by a series of civil wars and internal political conflict, centers around the reorganization of the Republic and creation of the Constitution of Caphiria.

* '''The Civil War era''' (''1070 - 1115 AD''), covers a dozen or so civil wars that took place over a period of four decades as contention for leadership and political groups vied for control over the massive and wealthy state. The most famous of these was between Marius Oratonius and Quinus Sator Alercius and the subsequent war between their successors and die hard loyalists. This led to the state splitting into two: a monarchy in the north and a republic in the south. | *'''The Civil War era''' (''1070 - 1115 AD''), covers a dozen or so civil wars that took place over a period of four decades as contention for leadership and political groups vied for control over the massive and wealthy state.

* '''The Reformation era''' (''1115 - 1456 AD''), begins with the reunification of the state into the ''Imperium'', a hybrid political system that solved the crisis of the civil war. This new government retained Republic era bodies such as the Senate, but separated it into two distinct representative bodies, the Curiate Assembly and the Consular Congress. Conversely, the powers of the Imperator were increased even more from the Principate era. All of this was formally codified with the introduction of the Constitution of Caphiria which sought to eliminate the constant power struggles and conflict. | *'''The Reformation era''' (''1115 - 1456 AD''), begins with the reunification of the state into the ''Imperium'', a hybrid political system that solved the crisis of the civil war.

* The '''Dominate era''' (''1456 - 1615 AD'') is marked by its cultural and political achievement, becoming the symbol of artistic and cultural influence. This period is characterized by the rediscovery of classical Latin philosophy which encouraged a new thinking that became manifested in art, architecture, politics, science and literature. This era marks the transition from the Middle Ages to modern Caphiria. | *The '''Dominate era''' (''1456 - 1615 AD'') is marked by its cultural and political achievement, becoming the symbol of artistic and cultural influence.

* '''The Pontificate era''' (''1615 - 1872 AD''), is defined by the Great Schism of 1615, the break of communion between what are now the Levantine Catholic Church and the Imperial Church. The Schism was the culmination of theological and political differences between the traditional (Levantine Catholicism) and the new age of thinking that was permeating Caphirian culture and society as a result of the Dominate era which had developed over the previous centuries. As a result, this era marks the combination of the secular and religious authorities, creating a caesaropapist form of government, which meant emperors were regarded as greater than other mortals, though not quite as deities. As time went on, the identity of the imperatorship with the papacy became less clear and after a peaceful coup, the emperor became recognized more for his legal authority, rather than his religious one. | *'''The Pontificate era''' (''1615 - 1872 AD''), is defined by the Great Schism of 1615, the break of communion between what are now the Levantine Catholic Church and the Imperial Church.

* The '''Mandatum''' era ''(1872 - present)'', covers the 18th century to present day. This period can be characterized as the shift from regional hegemon to global superpower. Caphiria played a major role in the Great War, notably as the first nation to use nuclear weaponry. Kiravia and Caphiria emerged as superpowers following the end of the 20th century and has maintained a mostly friendly relationship with it, confronting indirectly during the Space race, proxy wars, and propaganda campaigns. | *The '''Mandatum''' era ''(1872 - present)'', covers the 18th century to present day.

The origins of Caphiria trace back to a geographic region called Latium that encompasses the southern part of Levantia and the northern part of Sarpedon. The region of Latium played a pivotal role in the development of a number of diverse cultural groups and civilizations. The lands of Caphiria were first colonized in a stable manner during the Upper Paleolithic and the Mesolithic by people migrating out of the Latium area and across the Urlazian Sea. These settlements, usually of small dimensions, were generally built on hills and circumscribed with fortifications. The economy of these settlements were mostly based on agro-pastoral activities metallurgy and trades. After a period of considerable uniformity from north to south, the settlements began to show a process of regionalization. Starting around the 15th century BC, new regional tribes such as Adonerii, Pandrian, and the Idauronians began to appear. Although these new tribes shared many similarities with the preceding proto-civilizations, especially funerary customs, they also exhibited their own innovations. For example, Pandrian culture is identified by their hut-shaped burial urns; urns of the Idauronians are plain and biconical, and were buried in a deep shaft. The hut urn is a round or square model of a hut with a peaked roof. The interior is accessed by a door on one of its side. Cremation was practiced as well as burial. The style is distinctive. The hut urns were miniature versions of the huts in which the population lived, although during this period they also developed the use of stone for temples and other public buildings. | The origins of Caphiria trace back to a geographic region called Latium that encompasses the southern part of Levantia and the northern part of Sarpedon.
