If only Marcus Aurelius had continued the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty’s tradition of appointing capable successors

Romans said "Be luckier than Augustus be better then Trajan"

Trajan just seems to have that extra special something that Scipio Aemilianus and Julius Caesar had. Social grace, political accumen, the dignity of a natural leader, military discipline and brains, cultured and cultivated. And on top of all that, he has an impeccable reputation among every class and creed of the Roman world. He might be the only Roman who was incredibly talented and had the wisdom to understand how to leverage that into making all those around him feel both acknowledged and respected. It amazes me that he's never mentioned among the finest poltico-military leaders of all time. The only emperor that I have more respect for is Probus.

I like to imagine Trajan's Column as a transportable giant cylinder seal, taken to cities, laid flat and rolled out over a central town square of concrete, clay, or sand, like pie pastry, leaving a dramatic, cinematic oversized impression.

I don't understand how Trajan is such an overlooked figure. I get that crazy or very bad emperors like Caligula or Nero are more in everyone's minds cause it's fun studying lunatics, but even more mid emperors like Claudius, Tiberius, even Vespasian or Hadrian (not saying they are mid, just "midder" than Trajan) are more remembered than him.<br>Even if we take into account the whole history of Rome, there's just a handful of people who "did more for Rome" (for better or worse) than him. Africanus, Caesar, Pompey, Sulla, Marius, Aurelian and some more, but not many.<br>He was a good general with many conquests, and a good administrator with good policies. Loved by the people, Senate and military alike. Everyone in this day and age puts him at the very least in the top 3 of greatest emperors, normally #2. And yet he is not that famous, I can't understand.

The optimus Princeps, Trajan. Arguably, even better emperor than Augustus. Thanks for the video.
