About the book

Tom Holland's Pax examines the Roman Empire during the period traditionally regarded as its great age of peace and prosperity. The book looks beyond the idea of the Pax Romana to consider how Roman dominance was maintained through military power, political control and imperial administration. It explores emperors, provinces and the realities behind Rome's apparent stability.
