Hi I am Cayleigh, I am lil Lane, I am krista, and I am Dylan

Dylan: Our story today involves the Pax Romana

Lane: When did it start? When did it end? What was it?

Krista: It started in 27 B.C. It lasted 200 years and was ended with a war that broke the peace. The Pax Romana was a period of peace.

Lane: What did the Pax Romana allow the Romans to accomplish?

Krista: It allowed them to build more things such as aquaducts and the Pantheon.

Dylan: The Romans had many structures such as aqueducts, paved roads, roman baths, colosseum, and the Pantheon. Also, they had gladiators that fought in the colosseum against slaves. Travel and Trade were very important in Rome because they made a lot of money off of it. Cayleigh: And that's the story of the Pax Romana
