Pax Romana 27 BC - AD 180
Pax Romana is Latin and means Roman Peace.
Pax Romana marks that time period during which the Roman
Empire was at its most secure, a time of general calmness
and orderly administration that existed from 27 BC to AD
180.
Emperor Augustus is credited
with bringing about Pax Romana. After Rome had seen a long
stretch of civil unrest and chaos, Augustus introduced a new
city life and revamped almost every layer of it.

Yes, Nero's reign fell into this era, which
reminds us that it was called Roman Peace, not
Christian Peace.
