Question:

Can anyone give me a descripcion of all of the Five Good Emperors?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Five Good Emperors was term coined by Edward Gibbon in his masterpiece "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." They ruled from 96 to 180: Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pius and Marcus Aurelius. The reason Gibbon consider them to be the good Emperors was that this was the time that "the Roman Empire was governed by absolute power, under the guidance and virtue."
