"My wife was making fun of me, saying she thought there were three people on the honeymoon: me, her, and Augustus," Zuckerberg told the New Yorker. "All the photos were different sculptures of Augustus."

On his fascination with Augustus, Zuckerberg said, "Basically, through a really harsh approach, he established two hundred years of world peace. What are the trade-offs in that? On the one hand, world peace is a long-term goal that people talk about today. Two hundred years feels unattainable."

Pax Romana, like pax mongolica or pax americana, wasn't/isn't as "peaceful" as it is made out to be.

Secondly, Augustus didn't establish "world peace". He established "peace" in the roman empire, which isn't the world.

I think it's quite fitting that your clarification is probably something missing from Zuckerberg's perspective as well.

Roman civilization was built on the enslavement of millions.

I wonder how many people think like this. Obviously the Roman Empire did not constitute the entire planet, so the claim that world peace was achieved should be provably false.

Pax Romana, look it up.

Of course some of the most horrific of emperors ruled during that period.

Oh okay, I didn't realize that the Roman Empire covered the whole world and everyone lived in Rome during Pax Romana. Thank you for correcting me.

I know it’s a ceaser but I’d love to hear how a robot describes it.
