Pax romana

The Roman Peace or Pax Romana in Latin, indicates the long period of peace imposed by the Roman Empire on the controlled areas. The expression comes owing to the fact that the administration and the Roman legal system pacified the areas which had suffered from the quarrels between rival chiefs. During this time Rome always delivered battles against the people and the tribes in periphery, in particular the Germanic people and Parthie. It was one era of relative peace, during which Rome tested neither major Civil war, such as the perpetual carnage of I er, nor of large invasion, the type of the Second Punic War of the former century.

Roman Historiography

This period is generally regarded as to have lasted of -29, when the emperor Auguste declared the end of the civil Great Wars of the first century, until in 180 with the advertisement of died of the emperor Marc-Aurèle.

Maurice Griffe presents it 70 to 253 in its synoptic table of Italy (chronological Frise).
