Prophyry didn't live or write during the euphemistically named 'Pax Romana', and he certainly wasn't round during the Nerva–Antonine dynasty.
Just nit picking.

Should have nit picked the grammar. Though you are right, pophyry lived in a rather nasty time actually.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
