Description

Rome's golden age, a period of unparalleled power and wealth, is the subject of Tom Holland's latest history. Beginning in 69AD, a year marked by the succession of four Caesars, and ending with the death of Hadrian, Pax presents a vivid history of the Roman Empire at its peak. The book vividly portrays the Roman Empire in all its glory, from the destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii to the building of the Colosseum and Hadrian's Wall.

Through the lives of ordinary and spectacular Romans, from slaves to emperors, Holland demonstrates how Roman peace was the fruit of unprecedented military violence. This stunning portrait of Rome's glory days offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most fascinating periods.
