Description
The Pax Romana: A Period of Peace and Conquest in the Roman World The Roman Empire is often remembered for its remarkable period of peace and stability, known as the Pax Romana. However, this era was built on a foundation of conquest and dominance, as the Romans expanded their empire through military force. This book explores the complex history of the Roman Empire, from its early conquests to the golden age of peace and prosperity under the emperors. Acclaimed historian Adrian Goldsworthy examines the creation of the Empire, revealing how and why the Romans came to control such a vast territory. He also delves into the many rebellions that broke out among the conquered peoples, and explains why these movements often failed. Goldsworthy sheds new light on the Roman Peace, revealing a nuanced and balanced picture of life in the Roman Empire.
