PAX ROMANA The Roman Empire controlled most of the Mediterranean area by 44 B.C. This was known as Pax Romana. Pax Romana was an era of relative tranquility in which Rome endured neither major civil wars, such as the perpetual bloodshed of the third century AD, nor serious invasions. This was a period of "moderation" initiated by Augustus and imitated by his successors. Conquest became less beneficial and the Emperors became content with the borders of the Empire and profiting from trade and commerce. This was a period of peace and expansion.
