Pax : War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age - THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER by Tom Holland takes you on a captivating journey through the heart of Rome at its zenith, showcasing the Roman Empire as the ultimate superpower.
This engaging historical narrative paints a vivid portrait of the Pax Romana, a time when the empire stretched from Scotland to Arabia, comprising around a quarter of the world’s population. With a masterful blend of storytelling and historical analysis, Holland captures the complexity of this golden age, beginning in 69 AD—a tumultuous year marked by the rule of four Caesars—and concluding with the death of Emperor Hadrian nearly seventy years later.
Readers will discover:
- Vivid historical accounts: Experience the destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii, the grand construction of the Colosseum, and Hadrian's Wall.
- Engaging character studies: From emperors to everyday Romans, Holland illuminates the lives of people who shaped this era.
- Insight into military power: Understand how Roman peace was achieved through unprecedented violence, providing a nuanced view of empire.
Pax has received acclaim as a Sunday Times bestseller, reflecting its impact and resonance with readers. Tom Holland brilliantly illustrates the grandeur and brutality of Roman history, making this book a must-read for anyone passionate about the ancient world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
