Hadrian
It's a shame that Hadrian only ever seems to get recognition for a wall be really didn't give that much of a shit about when he did so many other things and was generally one of the more interesting emperors of Rome.
>I will unite all Roman peoples under one vexillum
What did he mean by this?
Hadrian ≠ Trump
Hardian was a boyfucker in love with a youth named Antinous. Was the first (perhaps only?) non-emperor to appear on coinage.
I had a reproduction Antinous coin for several years until I lost it. My life's been shit ever since.
The British are bringing crime, they're bringing opium, they're rapists. Some I assure are good people. What we need is another great wall around canton and nobody builds walls like the Chinese and we're gonna make the British pay for it.

> One mustn't waste his breath mourning the once close betrayers. Every useful servant of the prince grows up to be overly ambitious. Proximity to power has a tendency to delude people into believing they wield it - this sort of thinking must be crushed in it's infancy.
> It's crucial for the prince to show his good will and loyalty to God as well as position that corresponds to current tendencies, regardless of his true thoughts on the matters - after all, one is nothing more or less that what he chooses to reveal.
