Status Updates From Trajan: Optimus Princeps (R...

Currently reading this one,which takes a very deep dive not only on Trajan,but Roman society and systems of Govt during his time.

This book convinced me the Parthian War of Trajan was premeditated on his part.

Good evidence is presented for the total destruction of Dacia after the second war.

The roads of the empire served social, administrative and of course military purposes, but not so much economic ones, as the transport of goods was done primarily by water.

Also, Trajan was the first emperor to style himself "Father of the Country".
