My Favorite Roman Emporer

After a week here, I've decided my favorite Roman Emporer is Hadrian.

Hadrian ruled the Roman Empire from 117 to 138 AD at the peak of their power and a long period of peace. He was an avid tourist and visited almost every part of his empire from Britain (Hadrian's Wall) to Egypt to Jerusalem. He rebuilt the Pantheon. And he had really great artwork on the floors of his palace (see Roman Masterpiece entry below).

An art lover, a traveler and an architect. I really like this guy!
