What were Nerva's greatest accomplishments?
Answer (3)
Nerva, or Marcus Cocceius Nerva Caesar Augustus was most known for being Roman Emperor from 96 to 98 AD. His reign was short lived and he had a hard time maintaining his authority over the Roman army. However, he saw that storehouses were built for grain. He swore that he would not execute any senators, and "pardoned" senator Calpurnius Crassus even after he was found guilty of conspiracy against Nerva. He put in place tax exemptions for inheritance, so land was able to be distributed to the poor, and he even used his own wealth to help fund it.
Nerva's greatest accomplishment was his administration and governance of the Roman Empire. He focused on practical matters and worked closely with the Senate, while also leading military campaigns and exhibiting skillful leadership during peacetime. ;
Nerva's reign as Roman Emperor from 96 to 98 AD involved significant accomplishments including the pardon of political opponents, social welfare initiatives to alleviate poverty, the adoption of Trajan as his successor, and the reduction of administrative costs. His policies helped restore stability to the Roman Empire following a tumultuous period. Nerva's legacy laid the groundwork for Trajan's successful reign, which followed directly after his death.
