Inhalt
Hadrian's Wall - it has stood for nearly two millennia as a monument to its creator, and yet he himself remains an enigmatic figure. Hadrian was not in the usual mould of Roman Emperors. He was Spanish and a restless, inquiring intellectual, a homosexual who identified with Greek culture and ideals. He travelled constantly and spent much time in Athens and Alexandria. Although he was not warlike, he was a good soldier, comfortable mingling among the ranks. His personal life was a complicated one, rife with scandal and conflicted sexuality - his unhappy marriage with Sabina and his well-known yet tragic love affair with the Bithynian youth Antinous. The book's theme is that Hadrian's reign marked Rome's apogee, the point at which its tolerant expansionism started to implode.
