Jewish answer:
As bad as the other Roman caesars and governors were with their crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 8b), Hadrian was one of the worst. He decreed against the practice of Judaism altogether and killed some of the leading Torah sages. See the attached Related Link (in Hebrew).

The Emperor Hadrian put down the second great Jewish revolt, led by Simon Bar Kokhba, in the process, killing an estimated half million Jews.
