Hadrian
c. 76 CE–c. 138 CE · Italica (Santiponce)
Hadrian (76–138 CE) was a Nerva-Antonine emperor, a cultured patron of the arts and architecture who consolidated the empire's borders and built Hadrian's Wall in Britain. His reign saw the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE) in Judaea, sparked in part by his founding of the Roman colony Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of Jerusalem with a temple to Jupiter; he renamed the province Syria Palaestina after suppressing the revolt. In the aftermath Rome banned key Jewish practices and several leading sages were executed, among them Rabbi Akiva, who in Jewish tradition had hailed the rebel leader Bar Kokhba as a messianic figure.
