- The Roman peace, used by Jiang as a period in which peace removed war as social mobility and intensified inequality. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lkkrzq4ydqy@transcript:v1#seg-0027`
- model: Jiang groups the Bible, Virgil, Pax Romana, and Fukuyama as variants of line-history because each imagines movement toward an end point where conflict is resolved. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-hioyqbbbllk@transcript:v1#seg-0015`, `video:predictive-history-hioyqbbbllk@transcript:v1#seg-0016`

- definition: Pax Romana is framed as eternal peace on earth and as the imperial promise that Roman order will end war and conflict. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-myturqu7nxu@transcript:v1#seg-0042`
- model: To explain why apocalyptic Christianity grows, Jiang compares Pax Romana and Pax Americana: long peace can reduce mass death but also preserve and intensify inequality.
