Aelius: A Glimpse into the Roman Empire Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of Aelius, a prominent figure during the Roman Empire. From his connection to Emperor Hadrianus to his intriguing portraits, there is much to discover about this enigmatic individual. One cannot discuss Aelius without mentioning his association with Emperor Commodus. As a trusted advisor, he played a significant role in shaping the empire's policies and decisions. His loyalty and intellect were highly regarded by those around him. The fresco found in the crypt of the Cathedral in Anagni, Italy provides us with an artistic representation of Aelius' presence. Created by an unknown artist in 1928, it captures his essence through vivid colors reminiscent of Emperor Hadrianus' reign. To gain further insight into Aelius' life, one must explore various portraits that have survived throughout history. The portrait of Roman Emperors Lucius Verus and Trajan showcases their close relationship with Aelius as they stand side by side, symbolizing unity within the empire. Another striking image is that of Lucius Aelius Caesar himself. This portrait portrays him as a dignified leader with an air of authority surrounding him – traits befitting someone who held such high positions within Rome's hierarchy. The Palace of Caesars in Rome offers a glimpse into where influential figures like Aelius resided during their rule. Its grandeur reflects both power and opulence – qualities synonymous with those who governed over vast territories during ancient times. In addition to politics and governance, medicine also played a crucial role for individuals like Aelius. Galen's depiction from 1830 reminds us that advancements were made even then to improve healthcare practices within the empire. Busts are often used as symbols representing historical figures; one such example is Publius Aelius Hadrianus.
