Description
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, 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. Dramatically 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. 'There's no other historian who can bring the ancient world before the reader... Riveting from first page to last' Daily Mail 'This is a book for lovers of traditional, grand sweep narrative history' Sunday Times 'Rarely has the distant past seemed so vividly alive' Financial Times
