Publius Aelius Hadrnuns (Hadrian) was born in Italica, Spain on
January 24, 76 and died at age sixty-two on July 10, 138. Hadrian
was the 14th Emperor on the Roman Empire. Hadrian's father was
a cousin of the emperor Trajan which put Hadrian in a possible
position of becoming emperor because of the bloodline. His
reign of emperor was from 117A.D. to 138A.D. He is best known
for the building of Hadrian’s Wall which was a source of
protections from “invaders” like Scotland. He traveled all the way
from Greece to Britain and Africa. Hadrian was a deep lover of
Greek architecture and so built great public buildings
throughout the empire. Hadrian marched with the soldiers from
place; it was rare for an emperor to be with his soldiers in
marching to or from battles. Hadrian was also considered a
humanist and he was the third of the five “Good Emperors”.

“Animula, vagula, blandula Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca Pallidula, rigida, nudula, Nec,
ut soles, dabis iocos... P. Aelius Hadrianus Imp.”

make fun of things. - Translated by W. S. Merwin
