This richly illustrated Sourcebook gathers together, often for the first time, a large number of ancient sources--inscriptions, papyri, literary accounts, coins, etc. --related to the life, career, and word of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, successor to Trajan, and ruler in the 2nd century at a pivotal time for the history of the West. Accompanied by maps and illustrations of varying kinds, this is the most complete collection of ancient sources on Hadrian--all in English translation--to ever appear. The author, a scholar who has published more than 40 books and many, many articles, has been studying Hadrian for a half century. Trained in the languages (Greek, Latin, etc. ) translated in this volume, Dr. Bolich, as editor, has not only reviewed the translations used, but contributed many of his own. He has also supplied footnotes offering a wealth of additional information and pointing to places where the original language source material and other translations may be found.
