Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age - Book by Tom Holland

Name: Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age
Author: Tom Holland

Pax examines the era of peace (Pax Romana) that reigned over the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Augustus, from 27 BCE to 180 CE. Tom Holland explores the contradictions within this period of relative stability, where military expansion and imperial control coexisted with social, cultural, and political shifts. The book dissects how Augustus transformed Rome from a republic in chaos to a powerful, centralized empire, while also addressing the costs of such peace, including suppression and conquest.
