Trajan
Trajan (Latin: Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus; 53 – 117), born Marcus Ulpius Traianus, was Roman Emperor from 98 to his death.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Under Trajan's rule, the Roman Empire reached its largest territorial size. He was also in charge of many construction projects in Rome, for which he often employed his favorite architect, Apollodorus of Damascus. One such projects was the Baths of Trajan, which was built atop a section of Nero's ruined Golden Palace, and was poetically intended for use by the commoners.[1] Other projects included a market which, when fully operational, housed no less than 150 shops and offices,[2] and a column which commemorated Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars.[3]
In 106, Trajan expanded his empire with the annexation of the Nabataean Kingdom, and Roman presence in the region of Hegra was later expanded with the establishment of a fort for the protection and collection of charges along the Incense Road.[4]
