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.
