The "Five Good Emperors" of the Roman Empire (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius) ruled from 96 to 180 CE, an era often regarded as Rome's golden age. This period is celebrated for its stability, economic prosperity, and the emperors' commitment to justice and public welfare. Unlike many rulers, they were chosen for their merit, not family ties, leading to effective governance that left a lasting legacy on Roman history and culture.
