The Roman Senate enjoyed renewed liberties under his rule, but Nerva's mismanagement of the state finances and lack of authority over the army ultimately brought Rome near the edge of a significant crisis.[28] The mutiny led by Casperius Aelianus was never intended as a coup, but a calculated attempt to put pressure on the emperor.[37] The adoption of Trajan expanded his power base with a respected, reliable general as his successor. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5755.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5755.txt
