    Wonderful deep dive into the time of Hadrian and the architecture produced.

    The professor explains very well the mentality of the Phil hellene emperor , his appreciation for all things greek and love of the aesthetic . Hadrian re defined architecture in the Roman Empire based on his travels across the empire and the innovations his creates created in the remaining architecture from his time in Rome

    I would recommend this lecture for anyone with a love of roman history
