<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1317485, member: 26302&quot;]Guy, I can see what you are saying, but would really only agree with the fact he did not adopt a competent successor, but his son. He couldn&#039;t do much against his co-emperor, since theoretically he had just as much power. The Christians, remember, were a new, forceful, evangelic oriental mystery religion whose prostelatyzing(sp?) did upset a large contigent of the Roman population. I don&#039;t hold MA up with Trajan, Constantine, or Augustus, but I would say he was a slightly better than average emperor. Its hard to rank them since so many were assasinated before we could really see what they could do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
