The third in the epic trilogy narrating the history of the Roman
Empire from renowned historian Tom Holland. Pax is the third in a
trilogy of books narrating the history of the Roman Empire. The
series that began with Rubicon, and continued with Dynasty, now
arrives at the period which marks the apogée of the pax Romana. It
provides a portrait of the ancient world's ultimate superpower at
war and at peace; from the gilded capital to the barbarous realms
beyond the frontier; from emperors to slaves. The narrative
features many of the most celebrated episodes in Roman history: the
destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii; the building of the Colosseum
and Hadrian's Wall; the conquests of Trajan and the spread of
Christianity. Pax gives a portrait of Rome, the great white shark
of the ancient world, the tyrannosaur, at the very pinnacle of her
greatness. Praise for Tom Holland: 'Terrific: bold, ambitious and
passionate' Peter Frankopan 'An exceptionally good storyteller with
a marvellous eye for detail' The Economist 'A book that completely
transforms your understanding of the world' Spectator 'Narrative
history at its best' Ian McEwan, Guardian
