EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Emperor Hadrian of the Roman Empire embarking on his extensive journey through his realm on foot, around the year 120 AD. Known for his meticulous governance and commitment to ensuring the prosperity and security of his empire, Hadrian traveled extensively to personally oversee its various provinces. During his itinerary, Hadrian made his way to the shores of Britain, where he is believed to have visited around 122 AD. While in Britain, Hadrian undertook several significant projects, most notably the construction of Hadrian's Wall. This impressive fortification, stretching over 73 miles from the Solway Firth to the North Sea, was built to protect the northern border of the Roman province from hostile tribes. The wall, which stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the Romans, was an essential component of Hadrian's broader strategy to maintain peace and stability throughout his empire. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Hadrian's travels and his enduring impact on the Roman Empire and European history. Emperor Hadrian's journey, which began in 117 AD and lasted until his death in 138 AD, covered a vast territory that included modern-day Spain, Gaul, Germany, and Britain. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the remarkable achievements of one of the most influential leaders in ancient history, whose legacy continues to inspire and captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
