They should. Preponderance of evidence is for civil charges, criminal charges require proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

If this is only propaganda of dictators, how do you explain the existence of these views within the ancient republics and democracies? Or within the earlier pre-settled tribes? (not sure if this was the case everywhere, but I know the attitude was quite prevalent within the tribes of europe)

Sure, but then the western roman empire only begins in the 3rd century with the partition of the unified roman empire (and collapsed in the 5th).
Even if you just want to look at who controls rome (understandable if we're talking about calling something the roman empire), after the reconquest by Justinian, it belonged to the eastern empire about the same amount of time as the west.
