About The Book
The Pax Romana is famous for having provided a remarkable period of peace and stability, rarely seen before or since. Yet the Romans were first and foremost conquerors. But the Pax Romana was real, and some of the regions in the Empire have never again lived for so many generations free from major wars. Acclaimed historian Adrian Goldsworthy tells the story of the creation of the Empire, revealing how and why the Romans came to control so much of the world and asking whether the favourable image of the Roman peace is a true one. A ground-breaking and comprehensive history of the Roman Peace, Pax Romana takes the reader on a journey from the bloody conquests of an aggressive Republic to the golden age of peace and prosperity, offering a balanced and nuanced reappraisal of life in the Roman Empire.
