Old Sith Wars
this was a generic term used by historians to refer to the period of time some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, beginning with the Great Sith War. The Old Sith Wars then encompass the Great Hunt, the Cleansing of the Nine Houses, and the War of the Star Forge. Additionally, the Mandalorian Wars are also grouped under the era of the Old Sith Wars, due to their temporal proximity.
