HADRIAN, ROMAN EMPEROR

Have you ever heard of the "Five Good Emperors?" Well, according to historians, five Roman leaders deserved this title. Join us as we meet one of them - Hadrian. Learn how he became emperor through adoption and then proceeded to implement changes and policies that affected life throughout the empire. Travel with him as he inspected the army outposts from Syria to England to Spain. Find out why he had a special feeling for the Spanish town of Italica. Then join him back in Rome as he approved a massive building program. Visit three of these structures, all of them still in use today. Wave your colors as you "watch" charioteers guiding their horses about the mark in the newly refurbished Circus Maximus. Then, as an added treat, accompany archaeologists on site at a Roman fort just south of Hadrian's Wall in England.
