Additional Reading
A highly recommended modern biography is Anthony R. Birley, Hadrian: The Restless Emperor (1997). Much can be learned about Hadrianās ideals and influence in Mary T. Boatwright, Hadrian and the City of Rome (1987), and Hadrian and the Cities of the Roman Empire (2000). Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian (1954; originally published in French, 1951), although fictional, is a remarkably successful evocation of Hadrian.
