1926 years ago today, Trajan officially became emperor. He was the second of the 5 good emperors, and widely considered the best emperor by pagan historians within the Empire until Theodosius outlawed paganism. His conquests brought the Empire to its greatest geographic size, and he stared his reign by pardoning political prisoners and restoring private property that had been confiscated by his predecessors. He was known for his military victories, dedication to the rule of law, and decreasing the tax burden on order to increase general economic prosperity. #Rome #history #grownostr
