891(138)-914(161) (Ætas ab Brian)

Antoninvs Pivs had more of a maintenance rule. He greatly increased the importance of art, philosophy, and science in Roman culture and liked the Vaspasianvs Imperial School very much. He expanded the school, increased its staff and supplies and reach, adding on to it the Antonivs Dexpiscorari(research)Academia as a successive school for students of Vaspasianus’ school. Antonivs also gave the provinces an apparent increase in power, speaking with governors over military and civilian issues rather than personally leading an army from Rome. This increase in how Rome saw its oldtime provinces more equally increased overall Imperial loyalty. In 892(139) Antonivs enacted the Scandian campaign if only so that Hadrian’s many years of planning did not go to waste. Antoninvs was not as good a military commander as Hadrian so it was very good that he frequented distributing military actions to his generals. The campaign ran 8.5 months but was still a staggering success. Mounds and mounds of iron and many Roman colonists to repopulate the 2 new provinces brought the economy higher than ever. Also this year, Horse breeders in Germania Inferior develop the first horseshoe, horse workers now last longer and have better traction. The next 22 years were peaceful and Antoninivs died in 914(161).
