Discuss the Roman Peace and its impact on the empire.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The Roman Peace was a time that featured the successful management of an overly large empire by setting limits, and the fostering of a sense of nationality or civic pride by treating all people living in the Roman Empire as valued members. The plan, initiated by Augustus, declared that no province could act aggressively toward another; the empire had reached its apex of expansion, which was subsequently ignored with the conquest of Britain; and administration should be more autonomous and locally based. In the large picture, the Roman Peace allowed the empire to function cohesively and even, during periods of crisis, to endure a lack of leadership by adhering to the plan.
