What did the pax romana do?

Answer 1

The relative political stability of the Pax Romana helped to integrate the provinces (conquered territories into the Roman Empire, its economy and the imperial ideology.

The Roman currency created an empire-wide means of exchange which helped the development of thriving trading networks throughout the empire. The building on new roads, bridges and ports also helped this. Trade promoted economic and cultural interchange between the peoples of the provinces, their integration into the imperial system and greater cultural homogeneity.

Augustus was very active in promoting trade. He created a framework favourable to it and promoted an increase in agricultural and manufacturing production so that more goods could be traded. The clearest example was Egypt, which became the breadbasket of the empire. Privatization of ownership of land and workshops was promoted to increase production and trade. Canals in disrepair were repaired and new ones were built to increase irrigation and the amount of cultivable land. Taxation was lowered (under the previous regime of the Ptolemies it was too high). Greater monetisation also contributed to an increase in production and trade. The use of coins increased.

.Augustus also promoted trade beyond the empire. Egypt became the base for trade with Ethiopia and the seaborne trade with India via the Red Sea. Syria and Turkey were the endpoint of the Silk Road to China via Persia.
