Study Notes

Period of Economic and Territorial Expansion

The period was marked by economic prosperity and territorial expansion, particularly under Trajan.
Expansion continued even during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD), but was accompanied by incursions by barbarian populations from the north.

The Antonine emperors (excluding Commodus) prioritized cooperation with the senate and aristocracy.
They demonstrated fairness towards lower social classes through public works, entertainment, and donations.
They also showed favoritism towards emerging groups like soldiers, artisans, and members of the imperial bureaucracy. This approach gained significant social support.

Dates

The period of Trajan's reign wasn't specified.
Marcus Aurelius ruled from 161-180 AD.
