Answer 1

Answer: As a citizen, the reign of Trajan would affect you positively because he made many reforms and changes to benefit Roman life and conditions. Some of his projects include: improving the dilapidated road system, constructing aqueducts, building public baths and extending the port of Ostia. All of these things helped the people at the time and allowed for better living conditions and less filth by less people sharing one bath

Many things have changed since the last two centuries. Nerva revised taxes and made land reforms that were able to help the poor. Hadrian made Roman law easier to understand and apply to everyday life. Antoninus Pius Enacted laws that assisted Orphans. Marcus Aurelius reformed Roman law and assisted in uniting the empire's economy. Most importantly, Trajan Greatly expanded the empire and gave money for education.

The one that has affected me most as an ordinary citizen, is how Trajan Greatly expanded the empire and gave money for education. Being 12 years old, I greatly appreciate the changes he made to the education system. Without it, children my age would probably not be receiving the same quality of education, or even no education at all as I am. I have all the thanks to give him for helping the education system by donating a lot of money towards this cause.
