Hadrian, Roman Emperor from 117-138 AD. He has been described as a 'benevolent dictator' and spent half of his reign abroad. In 122 AD he started the construction of a new wall that would separate the barbarians from the Romans in Britain. Despite the massacre during the second Roman-Jewish war (132-135 AD) he is still considered to be one of the 5 Good Emperors. His reign saw relative peace and his focus was mostly on culture.
