Ancient Rome, founded in 753 B.C., evolved from a monarchy to a republic, then to an empire under Augustus, profoundly influencing Western culture and law.
Emperor Trajan, who ruled from 98 to 117 CE, is often heralded as one of Rome's most capable and successful rulers. His reign marks a significant era in Roman history, characterized by territorial expansion, infrastructural advancements, and social welfare initiatives. Trajan's leadership not only extended the empire's boundaries but also enhanced its prosperity and stability.
