Senator: "Gentlemen, I believe we are living in a golden age. The Pax Romana has brought peace and stability to the Empire, and Rome is prospering as a result."
Civil Servant: "I agree, Senator. The government has never been more efficient, and our infrastructure is expanding at an unprecedented rate."
Slave: "With all due respect, sir, I don't see much prosperity in my life. I am still living in squalor and forced to work long hours with no pay. The Pax Romana may have brought peace, but it has not brought freedom to those like me."
Merchant: "I have to say, business is booming thanks to the stability of the Pax Romana. I can now trade across the Empire without fear of bandits or rebels."
Former Soldier: "As a soldier who fought in several campaigns, I can attest to the benefits of the Pax Romana. We no longer have to worry about barbarian invasions or civil wars. But I also see the need for continued military readiness in case of future threats."
Senator: "Well said, my friend. Let us continue to work towards the betterment of the Empire and ensure that the Pax Romana lasts for generations to come."
