he Emperor Trajan expanded the I Roman Empire to the largest size it would ever attain and brought real benefits to its people. In his own time he was hailed as Optimus Princeps - ‘the finest prince’ and in later years the highest compliment Romans could give their rulers was ‘better than Trajan’. But remarkably, until now, there has been no biography of Trajan designed for the general reader. Nicholas Jackson’s fascinating book fills this gap. Trajan rose to become emperor from unusual beginnings. He was born in what is now Spain, the first Roman emperor from outside Italy. His remarkable rise from junior officer to successfill general and then emperor reveals a shrewd leader who became adept at gaining and maintaining authority. Trajan’s subsequent military campaigns brought the Roman Empire to the peak of its power with the acquisitions of Dacia, Arabia and great swathes of the mighty Parthian Empire. Nicholas Jackson combines meticulous research, including recent archaeological discoveries and the results of field visits to Italy, Spain, Germany and Romania, to develop an accurate and vivid account that transports the reader to Trajan’s territory and his life and times.
