Trajan
Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, commonly known as Trajan (
September 18,
53 –
August 9,
117), was a
Roman Emperor who reigned from
98 until his death in
117. Born into a wealthy patrician family in the
Hispania Baetica province, Trajan rose to prominence during the reign of emperor
Domitian, serving as a general in the
Roman army along the
German frontier, and successfully crushing the revolt of
Antonius Saturninus in
89. On
September 18 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, a revolt by members of the
Praetorian Guard compelled him to adopt the more popular Trajan as his heir and successor. Nerva died on
January 27 98, and was succeeded by his adopted son without incident.
