| Notes: | May 4, 09 - TRAJAN spent half his life in the military before becoming emperor. Trajan solved the financial shortages of Rome by
reducing the spending of the imperial palace and public departments. His reign produced the most splendid monuments of public wealth in Rome's history. A soldier at heart, he set out to recreate the achievements of Alexander the Great but he died of illness in Cilicia. |
