The peace of the Pax Romana was in fact quite narrowly conceived: it was the peace of unquestioned domination. The Roman senator Tacitus put it best: “they make a desert and they call it peace.” The defining characteristic of the period was hardly an absence of violence, but rather an absence of any meaningful limit on Rome’s ability to make violence.

Elliott quotes Acts 1:8 to explain the early Christian response to the Antonine Plague, and instead of saying “you will be my witnesses” as it says on pg. 136 and in the BIBLE, the diva narrating the audiobook says, “you will be my mistresses” 😭 I came to a sudden halt on my walk to rewind and make sure I heard that one correctly 👀
