Activities of Hadrian that were good for Romans:

The popularity of Hadrian as emperor has been attested by the truth that we not there from Rome for the best part of his reign. The earlier rulers of Rome like Nero has been harshly criticized to send less time away from the city. He spent most of the time of his rule about 12 out of 21 years through traveling across the and. He visited provinces and used to oversee the administration and check the army’s discipline. He was a smart and effective administrator concerned with every elements of government and administrating the justice.

The devotion for the army has been he has been found to be sleeping and eating among all the common army-men. He has been depicted popularly in the military attire though the regime has been marked by the relative peace. His building of projects has been the most enduring legacy. Further, he has been established the cities across the Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, Balkan Peninsula. The passion for Greek literature and Greece has been that he has been referred to as Greekling or Graeculus at his young age. His philhellenism never dissipate with rise in age. Besides, he had visited the land of Greece minimum two time and found to be participating in Eleusinian Mysteries where he has been initiate. Here, the arch of Hadrian has been constructed by citizens of the lace of Athens during 1313 to 132 CE.

Moreover, he has been found to be dedicating various sites at Greece for the young lover reason Antinous. He has been drowned within Nile River during 130 CE. Next, he has been highly attached towards Antinous and the death of the young people has been affected highly with the emperor. This has been deified and has been from the mystery cult as the honor of the growth of Antinous. Moreover, at the place of Egypt, Hadrian has founded the Antinipolis, the city in his memory. Besides, at Rome he has rebuilt the Pantheon that has been found to be destroyed by fire and the Trajan’s Forum and also funding the construction of other villas, baths and buildings. Several of the structures has been surviving the intact for many centuries and some of them till 19^th century. Furthermore, the Pantheon has been preserved perfectly and has been visited at the present day. Again, Hadrian has a high interest for architecture and seeming to contribute to the plan and ideas for the architects. Nonetheless, the scholars has been n longer believing that he has been leading the architect at any one project.

Purpose behind Hadrian Wall:

Having all the notable buildings and monuments, that was placed at the northern Britain has been the most popular one. Its construction referred to as the antiquity as the VallumHadriani has started across 122 CE. This corresponded the visit of Hadrian to that province. This marked the northernmost limit of the empire of Rome at the Britain. However, the length and breadth of that project has stretched as it happened from coast to the coast. It suggested that more significant reason behind the wall has been to display the power of Rome. This wall has been the originally of 9.7 feet wide or 3m and having the height of 16-20 feet high or 6 m east Irthing River. It has been developed ut of stone with 20 feet wide o 6 m and 11 feet in height of 3.5 m to the west of the river. This made up the turf and stone and stretched 72 miles of 120 km around the uneven terrain. This has been built within six years by the legions that were stationed at the Britain. It has been between 14-17 fortifications with the length of the wall with the vallum or the ditch that was constructed of the earthworks purposefully. It ran in parallel to that wall. Further, the Vallum measured the 20 feet or 6 m in width having 10 feet or 3 m depth. Besides, it has been found to flank by huge mounds of the earth that is tightly packed. Since, the foreign policy of Hadrain has been to establish the peace with the help of strength, this has been though that the wall has been whitewashed or plastered originally. It has been represented clearly with the might of the great Roman Empire.

Hadrian and the reasons why he is been best known:

Hadrian earned disapproval taking place among the elites. This is through abandoning the expansionist policies of Trajan and current territorial gains at Dacia, Armenia, Assyria and Mesopotamia. He was found to be encouraging the military discipline and preparedness. This designed, fostered and personally subsidized different religious and civil institutions with building of projects. At Rome, he created and finished Pantheon and created huge Temples of Roma ad Venus. Moreover, he was a great hunter. He brought the style of beard back to Rome as fashion. Besides, he has been liable to lay the funding stone of Byzantine Empire. He changed the name of the place Judea for creating Palestine. Again he was a poet and the name of his biography has been “Phlegon of Tralles”. During his rule spanning from 117 to 138, he earned great reputation to be a smart administrator and a humanist. Again, he was found to be bringing the reforms in defining laws and never leaving that for the interpretation of various senators.

The reason of Hadrian to build the wall:

The main intention of it was to separate the Romans from barbarians. Thus the chief function has been controlling the frontier. There the army also enforced regulations covering the access to the Empire. The people were able to enter the empire at various designated points. They could travel unarmed and within military control escort for specified markets and other type of places. It has also helped to secure the raid that occurred in every frontier. The reason of those auxiliary units has been on the basis of frontier area and was totally different. This has been the military defense and policing and protecting the provincials. Various areas of the forts over the line of that wall unsecured the distinctions between the couple of functions. Assessment of location of that wall in that landscape has referred to the fact that it has not been there in the best location a here the defense was the primary criterion. Besides, it is also seen that the wall was formed and never the part of the broader system of that frontier control. Here, the cavalry has been attested at various forts over the Wall’s line. For using those soldiers as the guards at the frontier has been waste of skills. It has been more likely that the area to North has been patrolled. Particularly, the later scouting towards the Wall’s north has been attested with treaties taking place between the Romans and the northern neighbors. Again by 43 A.D. the empire of Rome has been much large. This surrounded the Mediterranean Sea and beyond that. It stretched far towards north and inland as current day France. Many historians have claimed that the cause that Rome made invasion on Britain has been to give prove to Roman Senate that their empire has been mighty till that time. Apart from this, it is also pointed out that Britain was the area that was filled with expensive metals. Here, the Romans really tried to take on the island various times. However, they have been defeated by Celts leaving there. Also the great Julius Caesar has tried a couple of invasions. Next time Caesar made that to River Thames having the troops, prior getting forced turn back. Moreover, emperor Caligula has also made a try for invading Britain that was 3 years prior Emperor Claudius and the troops has been capable to make invasion and remain. Many of the Celts living at Britain never lied that and a rebellion was led. Particularly, Wales has taken on the decade to get defeated as claimed by the Roman forces. Further, Wales has boasted various popular rulers fighting against invaders. Queen Boudicca has been one of them fighting with the army of more than 150,000 Celts. Again, the Romans also defeated then during 60 A.D. Immediately, he had the control on the complete land starting from Wales to Britain. Further, there has been not control over California. Apart from this, there were concerns of Caledonian attacks. Again some of the tribes at Caledonia developed peace treaties with Romans. On the other hand the others have been inclined to stay peaceful. Particularly, this indicated the giving up of lands and freedom. Besides, there has been various huge battles fought and been lost by Caledonians. Various groups took decision of raiding the Romans. The attacks have not been commonly done by huge forces. However, they eradicated costly time and resources coming from Roman Britain. The emperor Hadrian commanded the construction of the wall for keeping the Caledonians out of that.
