Marcus Aurelius is no Trajan.
Trajan expanded, but where could the other good emperors have expanded anymore?
too bad Marcus Aurelius named his son as the Emperor, they had a good roll going on with the Five Good Ones.
being Optimus princeps doesn't make you the best!
Marcus Aurelius' reign saw some heavy action in the North and in Dacia, perhaps properly consolidating and incorporating all that Trajan had achieved.
the Dacians had their organised kingdom(s), but today they speak a derivative of Latin
