Hey Henry,
Nerva
"Under Nerva, Trajan's career advanced. By this stage of his career, Trajan had showed himself to be a capable and just general which brought him to the eyes of Nerva as possible successor. Since the mutiny of the Praetorian Guard and his resulting humiliation, Nerva was looking for a strong and able successor, an image which Trajan had built for himself through his great military victories. Trajan was given powers that were almost equal to those that Nerva held in September 97 AD (the emperor died only four months later, in January 98 AD)."
