Constantine was the Roman emperor who adopted Christianity as the state religion. Although his decision was based on practical political considerations as much as on religious conviction, this single act changed the entire history of Western civilization.
Hadrian was the emperor who put an end to Roman expansion and who constructed some of Rome's greatest monuments. His reign marks the farthest limits of Roman expansion, from Britain in the west to Egypt in the east.
Nero was an emperor whose capriciousness and arrogance nearly destroyed the Roman political system. It is probably not true that Nero started the fire that burned much of Rome in AD 64, but his cruel actions afterward made him one of the most despised rulers of all time.
