Marcus Cocceius Nerva was Roman emperor from 96 to 98 CE and his reign brought stability after the turbulent successions of his predecessors. In addition, Nerva helped establish the foundations for a new golden era for Rome which his chosen successor Trajan would bring to full fruition.
Nero (/ËnÉªÉroÊ/; Latin: NerÅ Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; 15 December 37 AD â 9 June 68 AD) was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Nero was adopted by his great-uncle Claudius to become his heir and successor, and like him, became emperor with the consent of the praetorian guard. Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger, was implicated in Claudius' death and Nero's nomination as emperor.
