This nonfiction work examines the Roman peace as a system created by conquest, negotiation, local collaboration and military intimidation. It challenges the idea that peace simply followed once Rome had defeated its enemies.
The book looks across provinces and frontiers to show how Roman rule varied by region. It connects roads, law, taxation and urban life with the continuing presence of armies, revolts and unequal relationships between the centre and conquered communities.
