TRAJAN

Picture of Trajan

Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Trajanus) was a Roman emperor. He was born in 53 at Italica, Spain and died in 117. He was a soldier, and fought many campaigns in Dacia, Armenia, Mesopotamia and Ctesiphon and while in command of the forces on the Rhine was selected as colleague and successor by Emperor Nerva.

On Nerva's death in 98, Trajan became emperor of the Roman Empire. Trajan proved himself one of the greatest of all Roman emperors, equally skilled in military matters as administration and was highly praised by all except members of the Christian sect whom he persecuted.
