Although Rome arguably had far more than five effective emperors, the Five Good Emperors refers to five successive leaders who didn’t undermine the work of previous great emperors, as Caligula or Nero would have done. According to the history website United Nations of Roma Victrix, the emperors Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pius, and Marcus Aurelius (alongside his adoptive brother Lucius Verus) all led Rome through a long period of prosperity.
