Abstract
The Pax Romana period was the pinnacle of ancient Roman culture since founding the country until the division into Eastern and Western Empire in 395. Only in two centuries, under the principate regime, Roman culture continues to create the available cultural roots of itself that inherited from the earlier generations; it selectively received and developed Greek foreign culture to a new point. All cultural values from the non-material to the material were constructed under the early dynasties of Augustus to the heyday of the Five Sage Kings or Aurelius who is both emperor and philosopher shows development and prosperity of Rome. Fields such as literature, history, science, philosophy,… have brilliant achievements. Rome has collapsed but Roman culture still lives in language, poetry, art of Latin, in the spirit of modern law and in the orderly traditions of the old European continent.
