"Babylon [from Babel] is interpreted confusion, Jerusalem vision of peace. [...] They are mingled, and from the very beginning of mankind mingled they run on unto the end of the world. [...] Two loves make up these two cities: love of God makes Jerusalem, love of the world makes Babylon."
The City of God, Augustine Hippo, 5th century
