Instrumentum regni
Instrumentum regni (literally, "instrument of monarchy", therefore "of government") is a Latin phrase perhaps inspired by Tacitus,〔«''Nullum maius boni imperii instrumentum quam bonos amicos esse''» Tacitus, ''Historiae'', IV 7. ("No better instrument of good government than being good friends")〕 used to express the exploitation of religion by State or ecclesiastical polity as a means of controlling the masses, or in particular to achieve political and mundane ends.
== History ==
The concept expressed by the phrase has undergone various forms and has been taken up by several writers and philosophers throughout history. Among these Polybius, Lucretius, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Vittorio Alfieri and Giacomo Leopardi.
Among these the oldest was undoubtedly the Greek historian Polybius, who in his ''Histories'' says:
In the Renaissance the concept was taken up by Niccolò Machiavelli in his ''The Prince''.
