Historical background
TRAJANUS and TRAJANUS SENIOR
(115)
Trajan, second emperor of the Antonine dynasty, adopted son of Nerva, wants to restore the memory of his biological father. Trajan's father began his career under Nero and became consul under Vespasian in 70. He was then governor in Syria before becoming proconsul of Asia in 79-80. If Trajan affirms his affiliation with Nerva right down to his titulature, he does not deny the ties that unite him to the gens Ulpia..
