- Hadrian.
- Known as the peace-maker, Hadrian was in some ways the opposite of his distinguished expansion-minded predecessor. Hadrian pulled back on the more troublesome fronts, building walls to keep the "barbarians" out, then focused his attentions inside the empire. ...
- Hadrian Denarius.
- That association is not proven, however, as Hadrian minted many coins featuring traditional Roman deities and personifications throughout his reign. ...
- It is not clear whether Trajan intended for Hadrian to be his heir. ... In the first official version, with Trajan near death, Plotina successfully prevailed upon him to name Hadrian as his heir. In the second popular version, Trajan died without naming an heir, and Plotina hid his death, arranging for someone to impersonate his voice long enough to forge the documents that named Hadrian as his chosen successor. In any case, Hadrian's accession was not contested.
- The governor of Syria at the time of Trajan's death, Hadrian went to rome via Dacia, settling a military crisis there and also setting the pattern of "peacemaker" that he would live by for the rest of his reign. ... He later followed this pattern both in the east, pulling back to the Euphrates, and in Britain, where he built the still-famous landmark known as Hadrian's Wall, an 80-mile long stone wall intended to keep out the marauding "barbarian" Scots.
- Hadrian's reign is counted as the beginning of the "Pax Romana" (Roman Peace), in which the Empire was for the most part not threatened by external enemies. ... For instance, he came upon the idea for Hadrian's Wall while traveling in Britain. ...
- One source of endless speculation about Hadrian is his sexuality. ... He was especially fond of a beautiful young man named Antinous, and when the young man drowned (some say he intentionally sacrificed himself), Hadrian was distraught. ...
- Hadrian had some difficulty in selecting an heir. ... Hadrian's next choices, 16 year old Marcus Annius Verus (Marcus Aurelius) and the young Lucius Ceionius Commodus (Lucius Verus), son of Hadrian's original heir of the same name, were too young. So Hadrian arranged to adopt the relatively old Antoninus Pius in exchange for his promise to elevate the two boys on his own death.

- Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site.
- Nearly 2000 years ago, in 122 AD, the Emperor Hadrian embarked on a huge undertaking: to mark the northernmost boundary of Roman Britain with an unusually long fortified wall. Skirmishing tribes were contained behind it for over 350 years and Hadrian's name written indelibly into the history of this evocative and diverse part of the UK.
- Today, parts of Hadrian's Wall are still visible; the line of it stretching from Wallsend in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west, and the fortifications continuing down the west coast to Ravenglass.
- As a visitor, you will find that Hadrian's Wall marks more than just the extent of the Roman occupation. ... The Wall is also the centre of Hadrian's Wall Country, a rich and varied corridor featuring some of Britain's most unforgettable scenery and a diverse range of ancient and modern attractions stretching from the east coast to the west coast and ten miles north and south of the Wall.
- Whether you are looking for secluded country walks or city art galleries, forts and museums, stately homes and castles or fun water parks, Hadrian's Wall Country has it all!.

- Among the most popular choices for collectors who select a single Emperor as a speciality is Hadrian. Ruling from 117 to 138 AD, Hadrian was the adopted son of Trajan and continued the adoptive line by selecting Antoninus Pius as his successor. Coins of Hadrian are especially varied with a 'complete' collection numbering well over 2000 items. ...
- Hadrian Denarius - 119-122 AD - Rome mint.
- Hadrian Denarius - 134-138 AD - Rome mint.
- The obverse legend places the coin nearer to the beginning of the reign when Hadrian continued to use the name of Trajan in his coin legends. Other coins relating to Hadrian's travels around the Empire show personifications of dozens of places on the Imperial itinerary. ...
- As noted above, the earliest legends of Hadrian tended to continue this practice. ... Later coins of Hadrian tended to shorted the legends and were rarely dated specifically enough to allow easy placement of each item. Oddly, although Hadrian accepted his last consulship in 119 AD, it is the COS III device that most frequently appears in his legends over the next two decades. ...

- Hadrian was sent to Syria. While there, in 117 AD, Trajan died and Hadrian was adopted as Emperor. ...
- Hadrian probably met his lover Antinoüs of Bithynia (c111-130) in 123 AD. In 130 AD Hadrian and Antinoüs were sailing down the Nile and Antinoüs drowned. ... After the mysterious death Hadrian proceeded to deify Antinoüs. In Egypt Hadrian founded a new city named after Antinoüs, and elsewhere in the empire the youth was commemorated by cult, festival, and statues. Hadrian's reign was marked by the flourishing of the neo-Greek manner in art, one of whose most frequent themes was the Antinoüs type of male beauty, echoed in coins and statues that are in display in museums today. ...

- Hadrian's Wall .
- Above: A Hadrian's Wall scene Picture David Simpson.
- When the Roman Emperor Hadrian visited Britain in 122 A. ... Hadrian's empire would not include Caledonia.
- A biographer of Hadrian's time summed up the purpose of the Emperor's great wall when he recorded that its construction would `Separate the Romans from the Barbarians'. The `Barbarians' in question were of course the Caledonian Picts and the great local tribe called the Brigantes, whose territory lay on both sides of Hadrian's Wall.
- It is worth noting that when Hadrian's Wall was first built, many of its forts actually faced south into the heart of the Brigantian territory. ...
- When Hadrian's Wall was built neither the English nor the Scots had yet settled our country, England or Scotland simply did not exist in Roman times.
- One thing should therefore be made absolutely clear about Hadrian's Wall- it did NOT act as a boundary between England and Scotland. The English and the Scots, did not settle in Britain until three centuries after Hadrian's Wall was built. In Hadrian's time the ancient race called the Scots inhabited Hibernia (now called Ireland), while the English, or more accurately the Anglo-Saxons, were a Germanic race who inhabited the central mainland of northern Europe.
- It is an even greater mistake to think that Hadrian's Wall forms a boundary between England and Scotland today, for the simple reason that most of Northumberland, England's northernmost and very Anglo-Saxon county, actually lies to the north of the Wall.
- Hadrian's Wall was eighty miles long, six metres high, three metres wide and built of stone, (though the Cumbrian sections were originally built of turf). ...
- It can therefore be seen that Hadrian's frontier was not just a dull and simple stone wall - far from it ! - Hadrian's wall was an active military zone, a customs barrier, a line of defence and above all `a way of life'.
- Hadrian's Wall was occupied for almost three centuries and at the height of its importance had been the home to thousands of men, women and children. Today, at eighteen hundred years old, Hadrian's Wall may be a mere relic of its magnificent past, but it is still nevertheless the most impressive monument to the Roman occupation of Britain, as well as being a very important feature of the heritage of North Eastern England.

- Aelius Spartianus: The Life of Hadrian.
- The original home of the family of the Emperor Hadrian was Picenum, the later, Spain; for Hadrian himself relates in his autobiography that his forefathers came from Hadria, but settled in Italica in the time of the Scipios. The father of Hadrian was Aelius Hadrianus, surnamed Afer, a cousin of the Emperor Trajan; his mother was Domitia Paulina, a native of Cadiz; his sister was Paulina, the wife of Servianus, his wife was Sabina, and his great-grandfather's grandfather was Marullinus, the first of his family to be a Roman senator. ...
- Hadrian was born on the ninth day before the Kalends of February in the seventh consulship of Vespasian and the fifth of Titus. ...
- When Trajan was adopted by Nerva, Hadrian was sent to convey to him the army's congratulations and was at once transferred to Upper Germany. When Nerva died, he wished to be the first to bring the news to Trajan, but as he was hastening to meet him he was detained by his brother-in-law, Servianus, the same man who had revealed Hadrian's extravagance and indebtedness and thus stirred Trajan's anger against him. ...
- There was, to be sure, a widely prevailing belief that Trajan, with the approval of many of his friends, had planned to appoint as his successor not Hadrian but Neratius Priscus, even to the extent of once saying to Priscus: "I entrust the provinces to your care in case anything happens to me. ... And the statement has even been made that it was not until Trajan's death that Hadrian was declared adopted, and then only by means of a trick of Plotina's; for she smuggled in someone who impersonated the Emperor and spoke in a feeble voice. ...
- On taking possession of the imperial power Hadrian at once resumed the policy of the early emperors, and devoted his attention to maintaining peace throughout the world. ...
- Later on, however, his procurator, though without an order from Hadrian, had Crassus killed when he tried to leave the island, on the ground that he was planning a revolt. ...
- This request he obtained by a unanimous vote; indeed, the senate voluntarily voted Trajan many more honours than Hadrian had requested. ...
- A plot to murder him while sacrificing was made by Nigrinus, with Lusius and a number of others as accomplices, even though Hadrian had destined Nigrinus for the succession; but Hadrian successfully evaded this plot. Because of this conspiracy Palma was put to death at Tarracina, Celsus at Baiae, Nigrinus at Faventia, and Lusius on his journey homeward, all by order of the senate, but contrary to the wish of Hadrian, as he says himself in his autobiography. Whereupon Hadrian entrusted the command in Dacia to Turbo, whom he dignified, in order to increase his authority, with a rank analagous to that of the prefect of Egypt. ...
- On his brother-in-law Servianus, to whom he showed such respect that he would advance to meet him as he came from his chamber, he bestowed a third consulship, and that without any request or entreaty on Servianus' part; but nevertheless he did not appoint him as his own colleague, since Servianus had been consul twice before Hadrian, and the Emperor did not wish to have second place. ...
- And yet, at the same time, Hadrian abandoned many provinces won by Trajan, and also destroyed, contrary to the entreaties of all, the theatre which Trajan had built in the Campus Martius. ...
