I, Caesar - Hadrian

Part of the Series: I, Caesar Collection

He overturned centuries-old policies, declaring an end to expansions and abandoning far-flung territories. Hadrian was an enthusiastic patron of the arts, a champion of the common Roman and a tireless diplomat who toured the entire Empire. But this "Golden Age" was not free from conflict - ancient accounts suggest that over half a million Jews were killed when Hadrian sent the army to quell an insurrection in Judea. From Hadrian's Wall in northern England to the Pantheon in Rome, I Caesar visits the most famous artefacts of the Roman Empire on the trail of Hadrian.
