'''Pax Romana''' (Latin for '''"Roman peace"''', also '''Pax Augustus''') was the long period of relative tranquillity throughout the Mediterranean world in the first and second centuries AD in the Roman Empire, from approximately 27 BC to 180 AD, or from the reign of Augustus to that of Marcus Aurelius.
[[Jesus Christ]] was born in the reign of Augustus, who, so to speak, fused together into one monarchy the many populations of the earth. Theological connections have been drawn by some Church fathers between the ''Pax Romana'', and the Divine Providence of God which is thought to have effected it, in order to facilitate the spread of the Gospel of Christ with and the true peace of God on earth, or '''Pax Christi'''. The ''Pax Romana'' was also a phenomenon that occured especially in preparation for the first coming of the Lord on earth, alluded to in the Holy Scriptures where He is called the '''"Prince of Peace"'''.
