Content: Trajan proved to be an energetic ruler and immediately reduced the influence of the Praetorian Guard. He secured support by offering donations to the legions and the population of Rome and reduced taxes. After a series of civil wars that had weakened the Empire, Trajan helped finance many public structures and ordered many aqueducts. He also prohibited wasteful expenditure on festivals. Trajan also initiated a series of social welfare reforms. What did Trajan do as Emperor? Trajan successfully overhauled the administration of the Empire and ended abuses by Senators. His domestic policy achievements are impressive, but his main focus was always on military glory. He abandoned the policy of Augustus of not seeking to expand the Empire. Only Britain was added to the Empire since the First Emperor's death.
