Despite having the title of imperator, Nerva never commanded a legion in his life. Nerva’s predecessor was Domitian, an emperor who was popular with the Roman military. The legions were pissed when they learned that their beloved imperator was assassinated, to be replaced with an elderly senator. In fact, the Praetorian guard mutinied against Nerva in 97 AD which undermined his authority. Nerva’s volatile relationship with the army forced him to adopt a popular general named Trajan as his imperial heir. The rest is history.........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
