The reign of Hadrian is often thought of as a Golden Age. Under the rule of this philosopher emperor, the borders of Rome stretched from Britain to Persia, from the Rhine to the Nile. Hadrian himself was a brilliant scholar, a capable statesman and a talented architect. It is fitting that his Imperial image should be elegantly set in a frame of pure gold, meant to adorn the hand of someone who is as multitalented as this fabled emperor. - (FJ.2481)
