Krátky popis
The definitive history of Rome's golden age - antiquity's ultimate
superpower at the pinnacle of its greatnessThe Pax Romana has long
been revered as a golden age. At its peak, the Roman Empire
stretched from Scotland to Arabia, and contained perhaps a quarter
of humanity. It was the wealthiest and most formidable state the
world had yet seen.Beginning in 69AD, a year that saw four Caesars
in succession rule the empire, and ending some seven decades later
with the death of Hadrian, Pax presents a dazzling history of Rome
at the height of its power.From the gilded capital to realms beyond
the frontier, historian Tom Holland portrays the Roman Empire in
all its predatory glory. Vivid scene follows vivid scene: 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 demonstrates how 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.Praise for Tom

best' Ian McEwan, Guardian
