What age marked its end with Commodus' solo rule?

  • The Golden Age

  • The Silver Age

  • The Bronze Age

  • The Pax Romana

Answer

The Pax Romana, the famed era of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, reached its end with the solo rule of Commodus. This period, lasting from 96 to 180 AD, was marked by territorial expansion, economic growth, and cultural flourishing. However, the assassination of Commodus' father, the wise Emperor Marcus Aurelius, in 180 AD, brought Commodus to power and signaled the beginning of the empire's decline.
