Hadrian
117 to 138 AD
Adopted son of Trajan, husband of Sabina, adoptive father of Aelius and Antoninus Pius
Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus, known as Hadrian, was Roman emperor from 117–138. Hadrian was the third of the "Five Good Emperors". Hadrian was born in Italica, to a well-established settler family which had originated in Picenum in Italy. He was a distant relative by marriage of his predecessor Trajan. Trajan never officially designated a successor, but, according to his wife, Trajan named Hadrian emperor immediately before his death. Prior to Hadrian's arrival in Britain there had been a major revolt in Britannia. It was here he initiated the building of Hadrian's Wall during 122. The wall was built chiefly to safeguard the frontier province of Britain, by preventing future possible invasions from the northern country of Caledonia, which was was inhabited by tribes known as the Picts. Hadrian realized that the Picts would refuse to adapt to Roman life, and tried to conquer the area. The harsh terrain and highlands made the venture a costly and unprofitable one for the Empire. Hadrian died in 138 in his villa at Baiae at age 63. Upon the completion of the Tomb of Hadrian in Rome in 139 by his successor Antoninus Pius, his body was cremated, and his ashes were placed there together with those of his wife Sabina and his first adopted son, Lucius Aelius, who also died in 138.
