The Emperor Nerva
Portrait of Nerva
This page is devoted to an article I wrote about Marcus Cocceius Nerva, emperor from 96-98 C.E.
The article is in three sections, below. Footnotes are at the end of each section.
Nerva is a shadowy figure in history. He is referred to as one of the so-called Five Good Emperors but is better described as the first of the adoptive emperors.
