Marcus Cocceius Nerva (8 November 30 – 25 January 98) was a

Roman Emperor

who reigned from 96 until

his

death in 98. Nerva acceded to this position at the advanced age of 65,

after a lifetime of imperial service under

Nero
and

the rulers of the

Flavian dynasty

—Vespasian,

Titus
and

Domitian

. Under Nero, he was a member of the imperial entourage and

played a vital part in exposing the

Pisonian conspiracy

of 65. Later, as a loyalist to the Flavians, he

attained

consulships

in 71 and 90 during the reigns of Vespasian and Domitian

respectively.

On 18 September 96, Domitian was assassinated in a

palace conspiracy involving members of the

Praetorian Guard

and several of his

freedmen

. On the same day, Nerva was declared emperor by the

Roman Senate

. As the new ruler of the

Roman Empire

, he vowed to restore liberties which had been curtailed

during the autocratic government of Domitian; however, Nerva’s brief

reign was marred by financial difficulties and his inability to assert

his authority over the

Roman army

. A revolt by the Praetorian Guard in October 97 all but

forced him to

adopt

the more popular

Marcus

Ulpius Traianus
(Trajan) as his heir and successor. After barely

fifteen months in office, Nerva died of natural causes on 27 January 98.

Upon his death he was succeeded and

deified

by Trajan.

Although much of his life remains obscure, Nerva was considered a

wise and moderate emperor by ancient

historians

, a view which was later popularized by the 18th century

scholar

Edward Gibbon

, who termed the rule of Nerva and his four successors

as that of the

Five Good Emperors

(the concept is older). Recent historians have

revised this assessment, characterizing Nerva as a well-intentioned, but

ultimately weak ruler, whose reign brought the Roman Empire to the brink

of civil war

. Nerva’s greatest success therefore, was his ability to

ensure a peaceful transition to the Trajanic-Antonine dynasty.
