Pax Romana

Years: 27BCE - 180

Pax Romana (Latin for "Roman peace") is the long period of relative peace and minimal expansion by military force experienced by the Roman Empire in the first and second centuries CE.

Since it was established by Caesar Augustus it is sometimes called Pax Augusta.

Its span is about two hundred and six years (27 BCE to 180 CE).

"{Readers} take infinitely more pleasure in knowing the variety of incidents that are contained in them, without ever thinking of imitating them, believing the imitation not only difficult, but impossible: as if heaven, the sun, the elements, and men should have changed the order of their motions and power, from what they were anciently"

― Niccolò Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy (1517)
