<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SpiffyAllstar, post: 95920, member: 1683&quot;]Trajan is my favorite, he was the man.&nbsp; &nbsp; So, he became emperor, decided that rome was in major need of repair.&nbsp;&nbsp; The previous Emperor was one of the weakest in history, and accomplished nothing. Once Emperor,&nbsp; what does he do?&nbsp;&nbsp; He goes out and conquers Dacia (bulgaria-ish region), which no one had been able to do for hundreds of years, takes tons of gold and hundreds of tons of silver, and rebuilds rome.&nbsp; &nbsp; He also conqured persia and some parts of wales, and the empire was at its largest under his reign.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice coins, everyone!&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a few uncleaned ones I&#039;ve been working on, but the only one I&#039;ve managed to make out is one from Jovian...he had a very interesting reign.&nbsp;&nbsp; Previous emperor Julian leads a massive campaign deep into persia, but dies.&nbsp; Jovian was only the second choice for emperor, and after hearing this, the persians attacked all-out causing jovian to sue for peace.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jovian if forced to give back all the thousand miles of territory in exchange for whats left of his armies free passage back to the empire.&nbsp; &nbsp; Shortly after this defeat, he dies of &quot;dubious circumstances&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; Talk about a letdown.</p><p>Total reign ~ 7 months[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
