Trajan

Trajan was a Roman emperor who ruled from 98 to 117 AD and is often regarded as one of the greatest Roman emperors. He is known for expanding the Roman Empire to its greatest territorial extent, notably through successful military campaigns in Dacia (modern Romania). Trajan was also admired for his civic contributions, including the construction of roads, bridges, and public buildings, such as the famous Trajan's Market and Trajan's Column in Rome, which commemorates his victories. His reign is considered a high point in Roman history, marked by prosperity and effective governance.
