Hadrian
Roman northern fortifier
Hadrian was a Roman emperor who ruled from 117 to 138 CE, known for consolidating the empire's borders rather than expanding them.
He is remembered for Hadrian's Wall, the defensive fortification spanning northern Britain that marked the empire's frontier.
The name appears occasionally as a given name, related to Adrian.
