Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus (Caesar) was born in AD 53 and spent much of his early career in Syria, where his father was governor. He later served as governor of Germany under Nerva, who also adopted him. After Nerva's death he entered Rome humbly, but soon began military campaigns.
Trajan treated his citizens well and was known for his affability. He exiled his enemies, but did not kill them, and engaged in public works and restored infrastructure. Trajan's column still stands at the end of Trajan's Forum in Rome; the emperor levelled that hilly region and constructed more public buildings.
Although a pederast and heavy drinker, Trajan was well-liked for his policies and government. Among other military endeavours, he conquered Armenia and won many honorific military titles. He died from complications of a possible stroke, though Trajan believed he had been poisoned. He was deified and his ashes placed at the foot of his column.

Severus took Julia as his second wife ca. 187, after consulting an astrologer who said she was destined to marry an emperor. She bore him two sons, Caracalla and Geta.
Julia was notorious for her many adulteries, and moreover had conspired against her husband. However, he did not divorce her. Julia was also known as a patroness of the arts, and continued her influence through the reign of her son Caracalla. She later contracted cancer and starved herself to death.
