//** Map of Hadrian's Wall, which is 70 miles long After Julius Caesar was assassinated, Rome transformed from a democracy to an empire. If you are in Rome during Hadrian’s rule, you are in luck! Hadrian, whose full name was Publius Aelius Hadrianus, ruled when Rome was at its most powerful. After he died, he was proclaimed a god by the Senate. Furthermore, he was the third of the "5 good emperors". Hadrian, unlike other rulers, was not obsessed with military conquests. Instead, he focused on safety and security. Hadrian Rome was therefore the safest time in Roman history. It was marked by long periods of peace and economic growth. One of his most famous accomplishments was the building of Hadrian’s Wall, which separated Britain from Scotland. Even though Hadrian Rome was relatively safe, keep in mind that these are ancient times. These times were uncivilized, so if you try to politically oppose Hadrian, you will probably get killed (Hadrian had many of his opponents killed). His rule only lasted 21 years (117-138 A.D.). Hadrian still has an effect on the modern world, as much of his architecture, including Hadrian's Wall, can still be seen today! This monumental wall also inspired a modern day company called Hadrian Manufacturing Inc.
