PAX ROMANIA MAIN POINTS

DEFINITION OF PAX ROMANIA

Pax Romania (Latin for ROMAN PEACE) was a long period of
relative peace and stability experienced by the Roman
Empire between the accession of CAESAR AUGUSTUS, the
founder of the roman principate and the death of MARCUS
AURELIUS, last of good emperors.
STARTING PERIOD
Going from 27 BC to 180 CE, Pax Romania began when
OCTAVIAN (Augustus) became the emperor of the Roman
Empire.
HOW MANY YEARS DID IT LAST AND WHY?
It lasts approximately 200 years because:
-people had faith in their emperors
-people had respect toward the emperors
-the emperor sensitized people about the benefit of being in
peace
WHEN DID IT ENDED?
Pax Romania ended because of the fact that military power,
despite being the cornerstone of the roman civilization, was
not inherently tied with the power of the emperor.
