 Pax Khazarica

Pax Khazarica (Latin for "Khazar Peace") is a historiographical term, modeled after the original phrase "Pax Romana", applied to the period (roughly 700-950 AD) during which the Khazar Khaganate dominated the Pontic steppe and the Caucasus Mountains.During this period, Khazar dominion over vital trans-Eurasian trade routes facilitated travel and trade between Europe and Asia by such groups as the Radhanites and the early Rus.
