Trajan (Civ6)

Marcus Ulpius Trajanus (18 September 53 – 8 August 117), more commonly known as Trajan, was emperor of Rome from 98 AD until his death. He is best remembered for achieving one of the greatest military expansions in Roman history, as well as for his philanthropic rule, enacting extensive public building programs and welfare policies that led to him being recognized as one of the "Five Good Emperors". He leads the Romans in Civilization VI.
Rome is the one civ you can trust to continue to push to be the largest empire in the game. Trajan takes Julius Caesar's words to heart: "Veni, vidi, vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered).
== Intro ==
 Cast your net wide, oh Trajan, emperor of mighty Rome. Your legions stand at the ready to march out and establish the largest empire the world has ever seen. If you can truly get all roads to lead to Rome, yours will be an empire of great riches and luxuries. Surely then our citizens will proclaim you as their best ruler, the Optimus Princeps.
== In-Game ==
Trajan's unique agenda is Optimus Princeps. He tries to incorporate as much territory as possible into his empire, and he dislikes civilizations that control little territory.
His leader ability is Trajan's Column. All of his cities get an additional City Center building (which will be a Monument if the game is started in the Ancient Era).
== Detailed Approach ==
Rome wants to get cities down quickly and then speed along the path to Engineering. With Engineering in place, Baths can be added to their cities and they will grow rapidly (and expand rapidly with Trajan's free Monuments). Their "All Roads Lead to Rome" ability gives them a steady income from their network of cities. (s from the interior cities of their empires to foreign lands should work well; not all their s need to be internal.) Though all this expansion will lead to conflict, it will likely be just the time that the Legion comes online. The Legion's ability to build Forts comes in two eras earlier for Rome than for other civilizations. Using these effectively is the key in being able to hold onto his expansive and powerful empire.
== Lines ==
Trajan is voiced by Gianmarco Ceconi. He speaks Latin with Classical pronunciation.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Latin) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	The reach of your empire is as Jupiter's over the heavens. Well done. (lit. "Like Jupiter's heavenly kingdom, your dominion is wide open. Very well.") 	Simile Iovis caelesti regno imperium tui late patet. Optime. 	The voice actor mispronounces, most probably because of misreading, the word "Iovis" (Jupiter) as "Lovis."
Agenda-based Disapproval	You have left the richest parts of the land for your enemies to claim. Are you so scared of expansion? (lit. "You have given over the richest areas of your kingdom to your enemies to be despoiled. Surely expansion doesn't scare you that much?")	Ditissimas tui regni regiones diripendas hostibus davisti. Num propagatio adeo te terret? 	The first sentence contains two errors. Diripendas should read diripiendas, while davisti should read dedisti.
Attacked 	Your hubris will be your end. No power can defeat Rome. (lit. "Your insolence will lead you to death. Rome can be conquered by no force.") 	Insolentia ad mortem te ducet. A nulla vi Roma vinci potest. 	A should be omitted in the second sentence; only a personal agent requires this preposition.
Declares War 	Prepare yourselves for war. Our armies will stop at nothing; our navies will swarm your shores, for the glory of Rome. (lit. "The die is cast.") 	. 	This is identical to Julius Caesar's Declares War line, but the in-game subtitles are different. The quote itself is actually from Julius Caesar.
Defeated 	The wellbeing of the defeated is to not hope for much more wellbeing. 	Una salus victis nullam sperare salutem. 	This is a quote from Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas's appeal to his comrades in a last attempt to repel the Greeks who had broken into Troy.
Greeting 	Hail, stranger. I am the Imperator Caesar Trajan of far-reaching Rome. Who are you and what lands can you claim as your own? (lit. "Hail, wanderer. I am Imperator Caesar Trajan of majestic Rome. Who are you? Which land do you call home?") 	Ave, viator. Augustae Romae Imperator Caesar Traianus sum. Quis es? Quae terra patria vocas?	The last sentence should read "Quam terram patriam vocas." The interrogative pronoun, object, and object complement have erroneously been placed in nominative.
Quote from Civilopedia 	Divide and conquer! 	Divide et impera! 	This is actually a quote from Julius Caesar.
