*”trajan” (/ˈtreɪdʒən/; Latin: Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus; 18 September 53 – 8 August 117 AD) was Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD*
.
(officially declared by the Senate optimus princeps (“the best ruler”), Trajan is remembered as a successful soldier-emperor who presided over the greatest military expansion in Roman history, leading the empire to attain its maximum territorial extent by the time of his death)
(he is also known for his philanthropic rule, overseeing extensive public building programs and implementing social welfare policies, which earned him his enduring reputation as the second of the ‘Five Good Emperors’ who presided over an era of peace and prosperity in the Mediterranean world)
(born in the city of ‘Italica’ in the province of ‘Hispania Baetica’, Trajan’s non-patrician family was of ‘Italian’ and perhaps ‘Iberian’ origin)
(‘Trajan’ rose to prominence during the reign of emperor ‘Domitian’)
(serving as a ‘legatus legionis’ in ‘Hispania Tarraconensis’, in 89 ‘Trajan’ supported ‘Domitian’ against a revolt on the ‘Rhine’ led by ‘Antonius Saturninus’)
(in September 96, ‘Domitian’ was succeeded by ‘Marcus Cocceius Nerva’, an old and childless senator who proved to be unpopular with the army)
(after a brief and tumultuous year in power, culminating in a revolt by members of the ‘Praetorian Guard’, ‘Nerva’ was compelled to adopt the more popular ‘Trajan’ as his heir and successor)
(he died on 27 January 98 and was succeeded by his adopted son without incident)
(as a civilian administrator, ‘Trajan’ is best known for his extensive public building program, which reshaped the city of Rome and left numerous enduring landmarks such as ‘Trajan’s Forum’, ‘Trajan’s Market’, and ‘Trajan’s Column’)
(early in his reign, he annexed the ‘Nabataean Kingdom’, creating the province of ‘Arabia Petraea’)
(his conquest of ‘Dacia’ enriched the empire greatly, as the new province possessed many valuable gold mines)
(however, its exposed position north of the ‘Danube’ made it susceptible to attack on three sides, and it was later abandoned by ‘Emperor Aurelian’)
(Trajan’s war against the ‘Parthian Empire’ ended with the sack of the capital ‘Ctesiphon’ and the annexation of ‘Armenia’ and ‘Mesopotamia’)
(his campaigns expanded the ‘Roman Empire’ to its greatest territorial extent)
(in late 117, while sailing back to Rome, ‘Trajan’ fell ill and died of a stroke in the city of ‘Selinus’)
(he was deified by the ‘Senate’ and his ashes were laid to rest under ‘Trajan’s Column’)
(he was succeeded by his adopted son ‘Hadrian’)
