About the Book



To this day, we feel the influence of imperial Rome. You'll get brief glimpses of the reigns of many emperors who made the Pax Romana into what it was.



Book Synopsis



Two manuscripts in one book:


  • Imperial Rome: A Captivating Guide to Events and Facts You Should Know About the Roman Empire
  • 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;


The Roman Empire reached its zenith within the first two centuries of the fall of the Roman Republic, expanding its territory and spreading its influence well beyond the borders of Europe. During that time, a sort of global peace was achieved, which historians call the Pax Romana. Throughout the pages of this tome, you'll get brief glimpses of the reigns of many emperors who made the Pax Romana into what it was. Discover the Pax Romana's long-term effects and how it managed to cement the Roman Empire as the go-to empire for many later civilizations to try and emulate.


In the second part of this book, you'll gain new knowledge on the following facts:


  • How the empire evolved from the former republic and who the men were that brought about the changes
  • What made the reign of each emperor unique
  • What some of the more turbulent times during this overarching period of peace were
  • Who the best emperors during the Pax Romana were, and which ones were considered the worst
  • What role the provinces and territorial expansion played in the growth and development of the empire
  • How the imperial Romans were stratified
  • What societal changes came about with the abolition of the republic and the return to a monarchic model
  • How the everyday Romans lived during the Pax Romana
  • How big of a role the Roman army played in maintaining the peace
  • How prominent the Senate was and whether or not its role was diminished or reinforced during certain periods of the Pax Romana
  • And so much more!
