LNL Summer: Tom Holland on how the Romans built an age of peace out of war
In the year 68AD, the death of Emperor Nero precipitated a year of coups and civil war that saw four Caesars in succession rule the Roman Empire. But from the chaos emerged a 70-year era of unrivalled peace, power and prosperity known as the Pax Romana - when the Empire reached the heights of its predatory glory.
Guest: Tom Holland, historian and author of Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age. Co-host of The Rest is History podcast.
