The Roman Empire enjoyed a 200 period of relative stability which had been called the Pax Romana (Roman peace). This followed the establishment of rule by emperors by Augustus, the first Roman emperor. The emperors were absolute rulers who had a firm grip on power. The empire became unstable when the emperors' grip on power weakened and thus lacked a strong central power.

The Chinese empires were stable when they had an emperor with a strong grip on power and exercised tight central control. When the emperor's grip on power loosened the empire disintegrated. This was followed by a period on anarchy and fights among warlords until a new a new emperor reasserted firm central control and a new empire emerged.
