Document Summary
Successful in every way that an emperor could be successful. 113-117 trajan fighting in the east and expanded the empire in the tigers river?- trying to imitate alexander the great. Dio cassius primary sources shifts no longer suetonius have to read the historia augusta. Unfortunately only sources we have: augusta historia -= hadrian to corinus and numerium (crises of the 3rd century ) Syria also: much of hadrians success was due to plotina. When hadrian took it over was in a bit of crisis. End of trajans rule and going into hadrian empire was a mess. Hadrian sent letters to the senators for trajan to deified made in god. Hadrian started to travel back to italy then. Normally one would sail across but hadrian travelled up land and when up illirica and then back to rome from the east (do the tour same way trajan did) to showcase control over the army.
