The Five Good Emperors were a series of Roman emperors who ruled over the Roman Empire from 96 to 180 AD. These emperors, namely Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius, presided over an era of relative peace and prosperity within the Empire. During their reigns, the Roman Empire reached its greatest territorial extent. The Five Good Emperors are often viewed favorably due to their focus on improving the lives of their citizens rather than solely focusing on military expansion, despite wars and conflicts occurring during their time.
