Document Summary
A lot of it goes back to augustus use this book as well: carson book on reserve has a lot of good topical overviews of subjects, week extension on the paper!!!!!!!!!!! Now due on the 24th verify this to make sure: ones referred to as antonine are the ones after hadrian. Also marcus aurelius" son commodus who isn"t mentioned because he is not one of the good emperors: lucius aelius. Set heir for hadrian announced during the reign of hadrian. Looks like hadrian in terms of imagery beard, curly hair, mustache: even though he is not a blood relation. He dies and antoninus pius is chosen: antoninus pius (138-161) Again an attempt to make the hair similar as well as the same beard and mustache. Ruling jointly for a while before marcus continues on his own. Choice of all 3 of these men is from hadrian. Very dominant and arrogant thought he knew what was best.
