Pax RomanaFrom 30 B.C. until A.D. 180 Rome enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity. This time period is referred to by historians as the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace.

This 200 year period of peace and stability allowed the Roman Empire to achieve new heights in technology, agriculture, science, and the arts. The Roman Empire was a very civilized place during this time, and life was generally comfortable, and good.

Decline and Fall of the Roman EmpireAfter 200 years of Pax Romana, Rome fell into a long slow period of decline. Instead of focusing on protecting their borders, Roman armies began fighting against one another. As a result, many outside invaders were able to enter Rome, and cause great destruction. These invaders included the Visigoths, the Huns, the Germans, the Persians, the Slavs, and the Avars.
