The Pax Romana, Latin for Roman Peace, is a roughly two hundred year period of the Roman Empire traditionally dated from Augustus's rise to sole power in 27 BCE to the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 CE, identified as a golden age of sustained imperial stability, regional expansion and relative internal peace across Roman territory. It sits within the wider span of Classical Antiquity and covers the height of Roman territorial control around the Mediterranean basin.
