Hadrian is considered to be one of Rome's "Five Good Emperors." But he was a man of many shades of grey. After a shaky beginning to his rule, Hadrian embarked on some truly amazing building projects, and stopped the aggressive expansionism of the previous administration. Hadrian is remembered mainly for the wall he built separating Rome from the "Barbarians" - Hadrian's wall. He was the happiest and most centered around his lover Antinous, but after Antinous' tragic death on the Nile, his reign took a darker turn. Join us as we reveal the history and facial reconstruction of Hadrian, and a bonus recreation of Antinous as well.
