Trajan served as a Roman emperor from AD 98 until 117, known as the second of the Five Good Emperors within the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was a charitable leader and an accomplished soldier-emperor who oversaw one of the most significant military expansions in Roman history, during which, at the time of his death, the Roman Empire achieved its greatest territorial extent. The Roman Senate awarded him the title of optimus princeps, meaning the Best Ruler. Trajan was born in the municipium of Italica, located in modern Andalusian province of Seville in southern Spain, an Italic settlement within Hispania Baetica; his gens Ulpia originated from the town of Tuder in the Umbria area of central Italy. His eponymous father, Marcus Ulpius Traianus, was a renowned general and notable senator. Trajan gained prominence during rule of Domitian; in AD 89, while acting as a legatus legionis in Hispania Tarraconensis, he backed the emperor in quelling a rebellion on the Rhine initiated by Antonius Saturninus. He subsequently held the position of governor of Germania and Pannonia. In September 96, the old and childless Nerva succeeded Domitian, becoming unpopular with the military. Following a rebellion by the Praetorian Guard, Nerva chose to adopt the more favored Trajan as his heir and successor, who had made a name for himself in military endeavors against Germanic tribes. As Roman emperor, Trajan managed significant construction projects like the forum bearing his name, the improvement of social welfare initiatives like the alimenta, and additional military victories. He added Nabataea and Dacia, and his conflict with the Parthian Empire concluded with the inclusion of Armenia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria as Roman territories. In August AD 117, on his return voyage to Rome, Trajan became unwell and passed away from a stroke in the city of Selinus. The senate deified him, and was also approved by his successor Hadrian, who was cousin of Trajan. #History
