Pax Romana: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Rome during the Roman Peace Period (Captivating History)

As with each Captivating History book, "Pax Romana" serves its readers well in fulfilling its purpose of delivering to them accessible, engaging details that make learning about the past fun. There is no reason for anyone and everyone interested in this content to spend time reading this release, as doing so is an enjoyable experience.

As a Biblical Scholar who specializes in the New Testament and the world of the Bible, this is an excellent, easy-to-read book that orientates people to Roman imperial politics. I am especially interested in Nero, and it is an excellent resource to help people understand his reign. Reading this book will enable students to place the claims of Jesus and the early Christians in context, especially in regard to the clash of Empires. I will be adding it to my reading lists for my students.

If u like your history quick and accurate. Its here. If u want in depth history move on.

This book, in a well-articulated argument, presents the evolution and contributions of the Roman Empire. The reader will find a plethora of information. It is a well-researched book.

This book is an interesting and easy to read review about the main and most important aspects from the Pax Romana Period in Roman History. You will not become an expert, but you will know about the most important things, and you will even know about theories from different sources of some events that took place during that time. I think is a very good introductory history book.

If you're traveling to Rome and want to see it's in all it's glory that's possible. But this book and the backstory it provides - it allows you understand and go to places like the Bath of Titus, the Colosseum, the Temple of Vespasian, and many more with a history context.It even goes into Hadrian's Wall (which is in the UK). It speaks clearly about the Romans at Hadrian's Wall and Hadrian's dissolution of the Jewish State. This leads into history last and this century for Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East.

An excellent book to complement another excellent book (Imperial Rome). Captivating history with this book has knocked it out of the park for this one the ease of reading yet in-depth explanation balance was nailed here.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another interesting book from 'Captivating History' - showcasing that 'Captivating' gift of personalising individuals to bring them alive and creating an almost visual impression of events, architecture, etc ….. although all varnished with a generous coat of assumption and guessing - it does work.There is a tendency to ramble on here and there, and descriptions are given of deaths …only to, quickly, revive soon after.It's amazing to read exact dates from this ancient period and one could wonder at how the BCE dates were quoted (before there was a BCE) then other dates in the early CE dates as the modern calendar was not adopted until 1592?Still - there's much to learn about this fascinating period.
