Abgar V of Edessa may have gained favor with this ruler because of this man's lust for Abgar's young son, while Basil II's first foray into Bulgaria saw him smashed by Samuil at a structure named for this man.
Abgar V of Edessa may have gained favor with this ruler because of this man's lust for Abgar's young son, while Basil II's first foray into Bulgaria saw him smashed by Samuil at a structure named for this man. His forces expanded through Nabataea and into Parthia after earlier besieging Sarmizegetusa and killing Decebalus in the Dacian Wars. Apollodorus of Damascus helped create this ruler's best-known legacy after the Praetorian Guards revolted in the wake of Domitian's abdication and forced this man's appointment by Nerva. For ten points, identify this Roman who preceded Hadrian as the second of the Good Emperors, famous for building a forum and a namesake victory Column.
