Reviews
"In this marvelous book, Tom Holland shows us the Roman empire at its height, in all its splendor and squalor, sophistication and superstition, majesty and cruelty. Ranging far and looking deep, he tells us about emperors and subjects, about a world that is at the same time both familiar and very alien. Highly recommended."-- Adrian Goldsworthy, author of Philip and Alexander, "A sweeping, colorful history of Rome at its swaggering, superpower zenith by The Rest is History podcaster and bestselling author. Hail Caesar! Hail Tom Holland!"-- The Times (UK), "A work of narrative history, which Holland, with point and wit, brings off brilliantly." -- Claremont Review of Books, "A lively survey of Roman warfare and foreign affairs at the height of the empire...[a] sure-footed, tight-wound historical narrative, enlivened with keen insights. [Holland] has a talent for making readers at home in the ancient world, even if they are first time visitors....More so than many who write about Rome, Mr. Holland has a droll wit....The span of conflicts Mr. Holland deals with in 'Pax' from Britain to modern Iran, showcases the breadth of his learning."-- Wall Street Journal, " Pax is a captivating narrative history of Rome at the height of its power...historian Tom Holland shows ancient Rome in all its glory."-- The Daily Kos, "A lucid account... Holland's feel for the lived experience of antiquity is one of the best features of the book."-- New York Times Book Review, "The definitive history of Rome's golden age...PAX is a captivating narrative history of Rome at the height of its power...A stunning portrait of Rome's glory days."-- Englewood Review of Books

Synopsis
From a "remarkably gifted historian" ( New York Times ), the definitive account of the golden age of Rome -- an ultimate superpower at the pinnacle of its greatness The Pax Romana has long been shorthand for the empire's golden age. Stretching from Caledonia to Arabia, Rome ruled over a quarter of the world's population. It was the wealthiest and most formidable state in the history of humankind. Pax is a captivating narrative history of Rome at the height of its power. From the gilded capital to realms beyond the frontier, historian Tom Holland shows ancient Rome in all its glory: Nero's downfall, the destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii, the building of the Colosseum and Hadrian's Wall, the conquests of Trajan. Vividly sketching the lives of Romans both ordinary and spectacular, from slaves to emperors, Holland shows that Roman peace was the fruit of unprecedented military violence. A stunning portrait of Rome's glory days, this is the epic history of the Pax Romana.
