Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. A GREAT DAY IN THE LORD TO BE A GREAT DAY IN THE LORD!!
Today's study I learned something I had never heard of before. This is the Pax Romana, and this was during Jesus' time on the earth.
So, what is the Pax Romana? I will quote this from my source.
PAX ROMANA- means Roman Peace. A period of about 200 years of relative peace, stability, and prosperity in the Roman Empire, beginning with Emperor Augustus. It was characterized by economic growth, the expansion of infrastructure, and the flourishing of arts and literature. It was maintained through military strength and the brutal suppression of revolts in provinces. This era saw the empire reach its greatest territorial extent and established a foundation for Roman law and governance.
It started 27 BC to 180 AD. They had relative internal peace, though the empire continued to expand and defend its borders. Increased trade, a common currency, and a uniform rule of law stimulated economic growth.
They constructed roads, aqueducts, and public buildings, all made possible by innovations like concrete.
This also was a golden age for Roman arts, literature, and technology.
Jesus lived during this time and Stephen, the first Christian martyr was during this time also. Stephen, one of the seven to share the gospel and care for the widows and orphans. Saul of Tarsus was at the stoning of Stephen and held the coats of the men casting stones to kill Stephen.
Anyway, I felt this was a very interesting study. Thank you for reading. Love y'all. Have a super day, be safe, and remember Jesus first!!!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
