Pax By Tom Holland

‘Pax’ is the third in a trilogy of books narrating the history of the Roman Empire. The series that began with ‘Rubicon’, and continued with ‘Dynasty’, now arrives at the period which marks the apog?e of the pax Romana. It provides a portrait of the ancient world’s ultimate superpower at war and at peace; from the gilded capital to the barbarous realms beyond the frontier; from emperors to slaves.
