Trajan was the second of the five "good emperors," and he came to power after Nerva. Trajan was very successful in with military; he had experience and a good sense of strategy. During his reign, he was able to expand the Roman Empire and make it larger and stronger than it had ever been before. Not only did Trajan expand the empire, he also did much to help the citizens of Rome. He helped the poorer plebeians and made sure that all cities were doing well with their finances. Trajan also constructed and refurbished many buildings. He had a very successful reign. It is clear that the people of Rome liked him because unlike many emperors before him, Trajan was not assassinated; he died of old age.
