    Questions about Roman Empire, with answers

    Who were the Praetorians?

    The emperor's personal guard, stationed in Rome. More than once they decided who would rule: in 193 AD they went as far as auctioning off the imperial title to the highest bidder.

    What was the Pax Romana?

    The roughly two centuries between Augustus and Marcus Aurelius when the empire enjoyed unprecedented internal stability: safe trade, few civil wars and a movement of goods and people that Europe would not see again for more than a thousand years.

    Why can Roman roads still be seen today?

    Because of how they were built: four layers, from coarse rubble at the bottom to a surface of fitted paving stones, with the road curved at the center so that water drained to the sides. Drainage and deep foundations are why they still hold up.

    Was the Colosseum really called the Colosseum?

    No: its name was the Flavian Amphitheater, after the dynasty that built it. "Colosseum" is medieval and comes from the Colossus of Nero, a statue about thirty meters tall that stood nearby.
