Hadrian's Athens

He had it all but he wanted it all. From the time he ascended the throne of Rome in 117 A.D. and for twenty-one years, he spent most of his reign traveling all over his vast Empire to see, feel, inspire and create. He was always leaving back a trace that defined the Empire's provinces, establishing cities throughout the Balkans, Egypt and Asia Minor, but also making Rome more culturally diverse than ever before.
