Trajan ruled Rome from 98 to 117 AD, hailed by the Senate as optimus princeps ("the best ruler"). He made a lasting impact as a skilled soldier-emperor who led the empire's most significant military expansion in history, ultimately expanding its territories to their greatest extent before his death. Trajan is also remembered for his charitable leadership style, overseeing large-scale public construction projects and implementing social welfare policies that cemented his reputation as one of the Five Good Emperors who governed during a period of peace and prosperity in the Mediterranean region.
