The Pax Romana (Latin for 'Roman peace') is a roughly 200-year-long period of Roman history which is identified as a golden age of increased and sustained Roman imperialism, relative peace and order, prosperous stability, hegemonic power, and regional expansion. This is despite several revolts and wars, and continuing competition with Parthia. It is traditionally dated as commencing with the accession of Augustus, founder of the Roman principate, in 27 BCE and concluding in CE 180 with the death of Marcus Aurelius, the last of the "Five Good Emperors".
