        Early years:
 =             Hadrian was born on January 24th, 76 A.D in Spain. At the age of 10, Hadrian’s father died, and Hadrian was raised by his father’s cousin, Trojan. He was a scholar and a patron of arts. He was highly intelligent and well educated. He enjoyed being taught about the Greeks, and was nicknamed “greekling.” Trojan taught him about debate and hunting. Since he was in 2nd and 3rd term as military tribune, he was an experienced soldier. =

         Making history:                   =           Hadrian was the first roman leader to wear a beard because he liked the Greeks so much and they wore beards. Hadrian spent more than half his ruling touring the provinces. He established a boundary of the Roman Empire,” Hadrian’s wall” was in the northern Britain. Since he loved building things so much he built a bridge called the Ponte Sant’ Angelo. He dint go on wars of conquest and didn’t make the city-state pay heavy taxes. =

=          Legacy:            =  =           Hadrian was a ruler during the Pax Romana. On Hadrian’s way home from Rome he worked on one of his lasts projects, mausoleum. Hadrian announced he was ill in 138 A.D. There was no obvious place for his remains to be stored unless he built one. He died on July 10th, 138 A.D.            = Morgan, Jullian. __Hadrians Consolidating The Empire__. New York: THe Rosen Publisher, 2003. __Exploring Anicent Civilizations__.
