(‘trajan’ did not officially designate an heir)
(but according to his wife “pompeia plotina”, trajan named ‘hadrian’ emperor immediately before his death)
(trajan’s friend “licinius sura” was also a friend of hadrian)
(he may have owed his succession to them)
(that’d be akin to bobby coury designating me his heir apparent)
(with the help of maria coury and one of his buddies)
(bobby did see me with melissa thomas in spring 2011)
(his adopted son ‘antoninus pius’ became his successor)
(“Hadrian” (/ˈheɪdriən/; Latin: Publius Aelius Hadrianus Augustus; 24 January 76 – 10 July 138) was Roman emperor from 117 to 138)
(‘hadrian’ is known for building ‘Hadrian’s Wall’, which marked the northern limit of ‘britannia’)
(he also rebuilt the ‘pantheon’ and constructed the temple of ‘venus’ and ‘roma’)
(‘philhellene’ in most of his tastes, he is considered by some to have been a humanist, and he is regarded as the 3rd of the “5 good emperors”)
(‘hadrian’ was born ‘publius aelius hadrianus’ into a ‘hispano-roman’ family)
(although ‘italica’ near ‘santiponce’ (in modern-day ‘spain’) is often considered his birthplace, his actual place of birth remains uncertain)
(however, it is generally accepted that he came from a family with centuries-old roots in ‘hispania’)
(his predecessor, ‘trajan’, was a maternal cousin of hadrian’s father.
(trajan’s wife and his friend ‘Licinius Sura’ were well-disposed towards ‘hadrian’, and he may well have owed his succession to them)
(during his reign, ‘hadrian’ travelled to nearly every province of the ’empire’)
(an ardent admirer of ‘greece’, he sought to make ‘athens’ the cultural capital of the empire and ordered the construction of many opulent temples in the city)
.
(he used his relationship with his greek lover ‘antinous’ to underline his ‘philhellenism’ and led to the creation of 1 of the most popular ‘cults’ of ‘ancient times’)
.
(he spent extensive amounts of time with the military; he usually wore military attire and even dined and slept amongst the soldiers)
(he ordered military training and drilling to be more rigorous and even made use of false reports of attack to keep the army alert)
(upon his accession to the throne, ‘hadrian’ withdrew from trajan’s conquests in ‘mesopotamia’ and ‘armenia’, and even considered abandoning ‘dacia’)
(late in his reign he suppressed the ‘bar kokhba’ revolt in ‘judaea’, renaming the province ‘syria palaestina’)
(in 136 an ailing ‘hadrian’ adopted ‘lucius aelius’ as his heir, but the latter died suddenly 2 years later)
.
*25 FEBRUARY 138*
(the roman emperor ‘hadrian’ adopts ‘antoninus pius’, effectively making him his successor)
(in 138 ‘hadrian’ resolved to adopt ‘antoninus pius’ if he would in turn adopt ‘marcus aurelius’ + aelius’s son ‘lucius verus’ as his own eventual successors)
.
*’antoninus’ agreed, and soon afterward ‘hadrian’ died at ‘baiae’*
