Pax Romana: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Rome during the Roman Peace Period
To this day, we feel the influence of imperial Rome. After all, imperial Rome was one of the first successful "melting pots" of cultures. The Romans took what worked and discarded what didn't work, showing that it was possible to have a stable, centralized government over an extremely large area.
In the first part of this book, you learn includes the following
The downfall of the Roman Republic and the emergence of the illustrious Roman Empire;
Caesar's life and conquests, as well as his ultimate assassination at the hands of his senators;
The fascinating life of Octavian Augustus and the start of the Pax Romana;
Gradual "reduction" in the quality of emperors, starting with bureaucratic Tiberius, who ultimately left Rome;
The incredible life of Tiberius's successor, Caligula, who gained much notoriety;
The long reign of Emperor Claudius, whose two wives, Messalina and Agrippina the Younger, shaped the future of Rome;
Nero, who (maybe) set Rome on fire and who was most certainly a very unusual emperor with a penchant for the arts;
The Flavians and the Five Good Emperors, who led imperial Rome into its most prolific period;
The gradual but consistent erosion of traditional Roman values and its ultimate dissolution into early medieval Europe;
