Nerva
c. 30 CE–c. 98 CE · Narni
Nerva (born 30 CE at Narnia in Umbria, died 98 CE) was the first of the Nerva-Antonine emperors, ruling 96-98 CE and naming the general Trajan as his adopted heir, the choice later celebrated as the start of the "adoptive" succession. Early in his reign he reformed the fiscus Iudaicus, the special tax on Jews that Rome had imposed after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, ending the abusive enforcement practices of his predecessor Domitian. The reform was commemorated on coinage bearing the legend FISCI IVDAICI CALVMNIA SVBLATA ("the malicious accusation regarding the Jewish tax is removed"), though the tax itself remained in force.
