Redirect to:

Nerva–Antonine dynasty#Five Good Emperors

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Five Good Emperors (Q193254).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-The '''Five Good Emperors''' is  a term that refers to five consecutive emperors of the [[Roman Empire]] who represented a line of virtuous and just rule — [[Nerva]], [[Trajan]], [[Hadrian]], [[Antoninus Pius]], and [[Marcus Aurelius]].  Their reigns lasted between 96 to 180 AD. The term was coined by the political philosopher [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] in 1503:
-:''From the study this history we may also learn how a good government is to be established; for while all the emperors who succeeded to the throne by birth, except Titus, were bad, all were good who succeeded by adoption; as in the case of the five from Nerva to Marcus. But so soon as the empire fell once more to the heirs by birth, its ruin recommenced.''<ref name = "ihyxhp">Machiavelli, ''Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livy'', Book I, Chapter 10</ref>
+{{Redirect category shell|1=
-[[Machiavelli]] claimed that these adopted emperors, through "good" rule, earned the respect of those around them:
+{{R to section}}
-:''Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus, and Marcus had no need of prætorian cohorts, or of countless legions to guard them, but were defended by their own good lives, the good-will of their subjects, and the attachment of the senate.''<ref name = "ihyxhp"/>

-The rule of these five emperors was also analyzed by the 18th century historian, [[Edward Gibbon]], in ''[[The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire]]''. According to Gibbon, their rule was a time when "the Roman Empire was governed by absolute power, under the guidance of wisdom and virtue".<ref>Gibbon, ''The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, I.78</ref> Gibbon believed these benevolent dictators and their moderate policies were unusual and contrast their more tyrannical and oppressive successors (their predecessors are not covered by Gibbon).
+[[Category:Roman emperors]]
-As noted by Machiavelli, the period of the five good emperors was particularly notable for the peaceful method of succession. Each emperor chose his successor by [[Roman adoption|adopting]] a hand-picked heir, which established a bond legally as strong as that of kinship and thus technically respected the customary—not constitutional—dynastic principle, thus preventing the political turmoil associated with the succession both before and after this period.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unrv.com/five-good-emperors/adoptive-succession.php |title=Adoptive Succession |accessdate= 2007-09-18}}</ref> The naming by [[Marcus Aurelius]] of his son [[Commodus]] as heir proved to be an unfortunate choice, and is considered by some historians (notably [[Edward Gibbon|Gibbon]]) to mark the start of the Empire's decline.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unrv.com/decline-of-empire/decline-of-empire.php |title=Decline of the Roman Empire |accessdate= 2007-09-18}}</ref>
