He was a family member and trusted friend of the emperor Trajan, his predecessor, whom he served in several high offices during his life. Both men were born in Italica, in the Roman province of Hispania Baetica in southern Spain. Trajan himself had no heir, but his wife gave out that just before his death, he had adopted and then appointed Hadrian as his successor.
He had only one serious other contender for the throne, a senator and general called Lusius Quietus. But Hadrian quickly ensured the support of the Senate and had Quietus fired from his post as general, thereby depriving him of armed support. A short while later he had Quietus executed.
