  • Summary

  • Hadrian the Builder! Third of the Five Good Emperors, and as unknowable as the sphinx. He took over control of the Roman Empire from Trajan at its greatest territorial extent, inheriting a crazy Frankenstein of a territory that no one since Augustus had really focused on managing well, his predecessors had wanted to milk it or expand it, but Hadrian wanted to optimize it. A remarkable ambition, a mysterious man, and a legacy worthy of remembrance, and debate. But does he qualify as a Roman hero?
