Did Trajan really deserve his reputation as the embodiment of all
imperial virtues? Why did Dante, writing in the Middle Ages, place
him in the sixth sphere of Heaven among the Just and Temperate
rulers? In this, the only biography of Trajan available in English,
Julian Bennett rigorously tests the substance of this glorious
reputation. Surprisingly, for a Roman emperor, Trajan comes through
the test with his reputation relatively intact.
