The capital was strategically located between the Black Sea And the Mediterranean Sea. It was not until 1453 that the Turks overran this city and ended the Byzantium Empire.
Augustus, made changes however, during his reign that was a policy decision resulting in what is now referred to as the Pax Romana. This began directly after Augustus had full control of the Empire. The main part of the Pax Romana was the significant reduction in the size of the Roman military. Rather than bring up armies to resolve problems in or near the boundaries of the Empire, Augustus used diplomacy rather then force to settle problems. The expansion of the Empire was subdued. Later necessary military actions had to be taken in Dacia and Britain. Augustus improved public works within the Empire as well.
