Pax


Overview

La historia definitiva de los años de máximo esplendor de RomaDurante mucho tiempo, la Pax Romana se ha venerado como una edad de oro. En su apogeo, el Imperio romano se extendía desde Escocia hasta Arabia, y en él vivía en torno a una cuarta parte de la humanidad. Era el Estado más rico y formidable que el mundo había visto hasta entonces.Pax narra la deslumbrante historia de una Roma en la cúspide de su poder, historia que comienza en el 69 d.?C., cuando cuatro césares gobernaron el imperio en fugaz sucesión, y termina siete décadas más tarde, con la muerte de Adriano. Desde el brillo de la capital hasta los reinos allende las fronteras romanas, el célebre historiador Tom Holland retrata el imperio en todo su esplendor. Asistiremos absortos a un desfile de espectaculares e impactantes escenas, como la destrucción de Jerusalén y Pompeya, la construcción del Coliseo o las conquistas de Trajano. Holland hace que los romanos cobren vida ante nuestros ojos, desde el más humilde esclavo hasta el emperador, y muestra cómo la prosperidad de la paz romana se construyó también gracias al poder sin precedentes de las legiones.Un impresionante retrato de los días de gloria de Roma: esta es la épica historia de la Pax Romana.Tras Rubicón y Dinastía, Pax llega para mostrarnos el Imperio romano en todo su apogeo.
