How Hadrian left an enduring mark on the architecture and urban topography of ancient Rome The Pantheon, the Temple of Venus and Roma, Hadrian's Mausoleum transformed into Castel Sant'Angelo, and his villa at Tivoli epitomize for many the power and resources of Rome at its zenith.

A comprehensive catalogue follows the illustrated text.
