These are profiles of the same family, a difference of 17 on the 0 to 100 scale. They differ little in what they value and in the rules they hold. 12 differ in degree rather than direction. The sharpest split is Transparency & Honesty: Abbasid Caliphate leans against where Roman Empire (Principate) stands in core opposition. Both hold Authority & Hierarchy as a core commitment.
