The empire reaches its greatest territorial extent
node
At Trajan's death the empire nominally includes Dacia, Armenia, Assyria and Mesopotamia. His successor Hadrian abandons the eastern conquests almost immediately. The retreat is the informative part: the limit of the empire was not the limit of its armies but the limit of what could be supplied, garrisoned and administered at the speed information travelled.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
