I realize I'm going to sound like a giant dork here, but I know there's some Roman history buffs on this forum (at least there used to be): does anyone know of a good read on emperor Trajan? I've only found one online and most reviews indicate it reads like stereo instructions.

Considering all the wealth of info about some of the crappier emperors, I find it rather odd that someone like Trajan - who's regarded up there with names like Augustus and Hadrian as arguably the best emperor in Roman history, and expanded the empire to its greatest size - has virtually no books dedicated to him. That can't be, cab it?
