Romans described the emperor Trajan as the 'perfect prince'. What
made him so remarkable? This novel is a narrative historical
account of the lives of the emperor and his consort. It describes
the extraordinary events that brought the couple to power and the
timeless achievements of that power. The book traces Trajan's early
life as a soldier, through his marriage, service to Domitian and
rise to influence, and looks at Plotina's early life in Provence,
her philosophical interests, and the events that allowed her to
become a partner in greatness. It includes a unique recreation of
Trajan's lost 'Dacian Commentaries' which cover the Balkan wars
that Rome fought to bring Romania inside the Empire. And it traces
the military expeditions that helped fulfill Trajan's expansionist
dreams, reaching across Iraq, Iran, Arabia, and up into Southern
Russia. All this is presented inside a dynamic narrative account
that engages the reader.
