According to the story Emperor Traiano was on his horse on the way to fight a war when he was stopped by a poor widow who asked him to revenge the unfair death of her son. He answered he would revenge his death once back from the war but the woman would not let him go by saying that if he would die in war he would never be able to revenge her son's death. Moreover, he was the emperor and therefore the only one that should revenge her son's death. Moved by her words Traiano fulfilled her wishes.
