Trajan himself was just one of many well-known Ulpii in a line that continued long after his own death.

In the age of the emperor Tiberius ( or Trajan, according to others ) the work of Meleager was continued by another epigrammatist, Philippus of Thessalonica, who first employed the term anthology.

The siege continued throughout the summer of 117, but the years of constant campaigning in the baking eastern heat had taken their toll on Trajan, who suffered a heatstroke.

Tacitus ' major historical works, including The Histories and Agricola's biography, were all written and published under Domitian's successors Nerva ( 96 – 98 ) and Trajan ( 98 – 117 ).

His successors Nerva and Trajan were less restrictive, but in reality their policies differed little from Domitian's.

It was as a military commander that Trajan is best known to history, particularly for his conquests in the Near East, but initially for the two wars against Dacia — the reduction to client kingdom ( 101 – 102 ), followed by actual incorporation into the Empire of the trans-Danube border kingdom of Dacia — an area that had troubled Roman thought for over a decade with the unfavourable ( and to some, shameful ) peace negotiated by Domitian's ministers.

His Germanic allies were prevented from joining him by a sudden thaw of the river Rhine, and the revolt was quickly put down by Domitian's general Trajan, who afterwards burned Saturninus ' letters in an attempt to avoid implicating others.

* Trajan creates a policy intended to restore the former economic supremacy of Italy.

Gibbon lists the Roman conquest of Britain under Claudius and the conquests of Trajan as exceptions to this policy of moderation and places the end of the period at the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD, despite the conclusion of peace by the latter's son Commodus later in the same year.

He also begins to question the value of Trajan ’ s policy of military expansion.

Official policy under Trajan was to provide Christians with the choice between recanting and execution.

The term " Decapolis " fell out of use after the emperor Trajan added the province of Arabia to the Roman Empire in the 2nd century CE.

Hadrian was generous to his settled town, which he made a colonia ; he added temples, including a Trajaneum venerating Trajan, and rebuilt public buildings.

It appears that the temple wasn't part of the original plan of Aventicum and so it may have been added under the direction of Trajan.

In AD 114 Trajan temporarily occupied Mesopotamia, and with the end of Hadrian's 40-year peace the two powers were at almost constant hostilities.

The Dacians were eventually defeated by Emperor Trajan in two campaigns stretching from 101 AD to 106 AD, and the core of their kingdom was turned into the province of Roman Dacia.

However, like Trajan over a century before, he was unable to capture the fortress of Hatra even after two lengthy sieges.

* Trajan divides Pannonia into two provinces sometime between this year and 107.

* Emperor Trajan divides Pannonia into two portions sometime between 102 and this year.

* Trajan sends two expeditionary forces.

At the beginning of the 2nd century A. D. Trajan led two wars against the Dacians: the campaigns of 101-102, and 105-106.

In the course of the two wars with the Roman legions, between 101 – 102 AD and 105 – 106 AD respectively, the emperor Trajan succeeded in defeating the Dacians and the greatest part of Dacia became a Roman province.

The extract refers to the period from the reign of Domitian ( 81-96 ) to that of Trajan ( 98-117 ), includes the statement that two Desposyni brought before Domitian later became leaders of the churches:

Nearly two hundred denarii, chiefly of Trajan and Hadrian ( A. D. 98-138 ), were found in 1797 in a broken pot somewhere in the parish.

Nicopolis ad Nestum was one of two fortified towns founded to mark Emperor Trajan ’ s victory in 105-106 AD over the Dacians.

Pannonia was further split in two by Trajan between 102 and 107.

The third quarter features the traditional coat of arms of Banat and Oltenia, gules: over waves, a golden bridge with two arched openings ( symbolising Roman emperor Trajan ’ s bridge over the Danube ), wherefrom comes a golden lion holding a broadsword in its right forepaw.

There are two towns that Trajan founded in her honor in the Roman Empire.

In the early 2nd century, the Roman emperor Trajan created a new city between the two hills surrounding the town and named it Plotinopolis after his wife Pompeia Plotina.

This enchroachment on the traditional sphere of influence of the Roman Empire — the two great empires had shared hegemony over Armenia since the time of Nero some 50 years earlier — led to a war with the Roman emperor Trajan.

The two wars were notable victories in Rome's extensive expansionist campaigns, gaining Trajan the people's admiration and support.

The southwestern exedra of the Baths of Trajan once housed one of the two libraries ( Greek and Latin )

After a brief and tumultuous year in power, a revolt by members of the Praetorian Guard compelled him to adopt the more popular Trajan as his heir and successor.

In the late 1st century, a calculated uprising of Praetorians against Emperor Nerva, led by Casperius Aelianus, forced Nerva to adopt the more popular Trajan as his son and successor.

Among the more notable are the Roman baths of Bath in England as well as the Baths of Caracalla, of Diocletian, of Titus, of Trajan in Rome and the baths of Varna.

Any Parthian invasion was confronted and usually defeated, similarly, Parthians repelled some attempts of Roman invasion, however, even after successful wars of conquest-such as those implemented by Trajan and Septimius Severus-those distant territories were forsaken to prevent unrest and also to ensure a more healthy and lasting peace with the Persians.

Though Trajan declared Bostra to be the capital of the province, he also awarded Petra the status of metropolis, as a sign that he agreed in the matter of its importance with his successor, Hadrian, who considered it to be more dignified and historic.

Much more significant change took place during the campaigns of Trajan, when the old constructions of wood and dried brick were replaced by stone.

The Adamclisi monument, built by Trajan to commemorate the Romans who lost their lives in the Dacian counter attack in Moesia, is thought to have been constructed by the soldiers who fought there so may be more accurate.

Gan Ying travelled about the time that the Emperor Nerva adopted Trajan as his successor, but neither of them abdicated for bad omens ; the " kings " according to him resemble the Sages of legendary Chinese antiquity more than any Roman institution.

True to the intrepid and optimistic nature he had become renowned for, Trajan rallied his forces once more in AD 105 for a second war against the Kingdom of Dacia.

Hispania also provided several of Rome's more famous military Emperors, including Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius.

Recently one more slightly smaller exedra was found south on the wall bordering the forum of Trajan.

This completely changes the layout for the south part of the forum of Augustus, meaning that it is much more similar to the forum of Trajan, and a new theory for this southern part of the forum suggests that in fact there was a basilica between the 2 new exedras ( like in the forum of Trajan ).
