Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus (76-138 AD) was born in Italica, in southern Spain, of Roman colonists settled in the region. Trajan adopted him because he was the nephew of his wife, Plotina. As his uncle’s successor (117-138), Hadrian abandoned military expansion to dedicate himself to the administration of the vast territory through which he traveled for years. For being educated and tolerant he was later regarded as one of “The Five Good Emperors”.
