History remembers Hadrian as the cultured traveler, the builder of walls, the stabilizer of the Empire.
But he also abandoned territories won at enormous cost. He nearly abandoned Dacia. He provoked one of the bloodiest revolts in Roman history. He executed senators. He eliminated rivals when succession plans changed. He deified his lover and reshaped cities in his image.
In this episode, I put Hadrian on trial.
You are the judges.
