What were Hadrian's accomplishments as emperor?

Answer 1

However, there is evidence that he accomplished his succession on his own governing and leadership merits while Trajan was still alive. For example, between the years AD 100–108 Trajan gave several public examples of his personal favour towards Hadrian, such as betrothing him to his grandniece, Vibia Sabina, designating him quaestor Imperatoris, comes Augusti, giving him Nerva's diamond "as hope of succession", proposing him for consul suffectus, and other gifts and distinctions. The young Hadrian was Trajan's only direct male family/marriage/bloodline.

Answer 3

Hadrian, a fellow Spaniard and adopted son of his predecessor Trajan, had a different vision for the Roman Empire. Under Trajan, the Empire expanded to cover more land than ever before, but Hadrian realized that defending it would be harder, and he wanted an Empire which was smaller, richer, and more secure. The Eastern provinces conquered by Trajan were let go, but Dacia (Romania) which was north of the Danube River was retained. Hadrian promoted public welfare, learning, and the arts. He also founded libraries, temples, and even the city Hadrianopolis (Adrianople). Some sources credit Hadrian for building the Pantheon, the domed temple which inspired the Jefferson Memorial, but it was actually built by Marcus Agrippa much earlier. The temple had fallen into disrepair, and Hadrian had it rebuilt to its previous glory. Ironically, Hadrian's most famous accomplishment today is the military wall in England which bears his name. On continental Europe, the Rhine and Danube Rivers marked the Northern boundary and served as natural barriers, with a simple wood-and-earth wall covering the space between them. No permanent boundary existed in England, so Hadrian ordered the building of an elaborate stone wall which took years to build, and he never went to see it after it was completed.
