Hadrian, aka PVBLIVS AELIVS TRAIANVS HADRIANVS, (852-891 ab urbe condita) There’s a lot going on here but he had a lot going on. Third member of my Nerva-Antonine series, Imperator Hadrian. See the rest of the dynasty here [x] and read more about him below the cut.☆Merch Here☆One of Trajan’s generals, Hadrian was made adoptive heir to the throne on Trajan’s deathbed. During his reign he toured the entire empire (during its height), and oversaw the building of Hadrian’s Wall in the north of England (where I got to do my internship over the summer!!). He was in love with a young man named Antinous who tragically drowned in the Nile under unclear circumstances. The wreath in this picture was inspired by a bas-relief of Antinous. -- source link
