Second Century (Hibernia Unanimis)

''The Second Century AD, dated between the years 101-200 continued the previous century's theme of Roman domination in Europe, with the Imperial system coming to full fruitation under the reign of Trajan, where the Empire reached its greatest extent, conquering Dacia, Nabataea, all of Hibernia, and (for a short period) Mesopotamia. Rome then became primarily defensive, but the Five Good Emperors stewarded it well for the lion's share of the century. After 180, the fifth Good Emperor, Marcus Aurelius died, leaving his inept son, Commodus as Emperor. After several years of chaos, Septimius Severus ascended to emperorhood in 193 and strengthened the Empire yet again through military campaigns.''

''Outside Rome, Han China expanded west across Central Asia before becoming corrupt and stagnant by the end of the century. Paper, however, was invented during this timeframe in China and it was a major time for scientific advancement in the Far East.''
