The Ancient Roman Emperor Hadrian

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Why do you think Hadrian was such a popular emperor?

[@NicoleSCampbell]

He expanded, he built, those are quite popular. He was obviously smart and handsome and fought for what he believed in. Rome was peaceful enough for him to leave it presupposing he would come back which he did. He secured those who came after him, although it is obvious sheer luck that got him into his role. A woman! I would not say this was a huge villain excepting how many jews were killed. But both sides suffered a large loss. I'd say it was his intelligence and charm 😁

[@joshuaraleigh4648]

Because he was a gigachad who slew those Edomite faux Judeans without mercy! And now those same Edomite faux Judeans operate false history sites, and show their disdain for everything holy and decent by using C.E. instead of A.D., and claiming everyone is perverse and homosexual like they are!

[@NiejakiDD]

He was popular because he was unusual emperor. for Romans - because he was absent of Rome most of the time for other Roman provinces - because he personally visited them building many infrastructure.

ANOTHER GREAT PRESENTATION - CONCISE AND INFORMATIVE

[@Baslium]

“Was he famous for being the first ‘sugar daddy’ in Ancient Rome?”

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Lol, no. Thanks for watching!

[@gregputman]

I seriously doubt that he was the first

[@Baslium]

@@gregputman But He's definitely the one fits all the stereotypes. Old, Rich, White, Married, Fragile and probably secretly into bottom.😛

[@Davlavi]

Nice video.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks so much. 😊

[@mrh533]

Ave Divus Hadrianus!

[@LongLiveTheAlephTau]

So you support what he did to the Jews? Antisemite

[@HistoryfortheAges]

Thank you for not ignoring the horrific treatment of the Jews in Judea. Too many people give him a pass on this because of their biases. I have several detailed lectures on what happened to the Jews under Roman control.

[@chimpout]

You want reparations or something?

[@HistoryfortheAges]

@@chimpout no, that would be absurd. Just the history to be known

[@user-py8pc1kg9l]

​@@chimpout That was unnecessary.

[@kevingunter1089]

Did you know why they were treated that way? If yes dont ask this st*pid question again

[@joelthorne7434]

@@kevingunter1089 Judaism was a legal religion in the Roman Empire

[@joelthorne7434]

Very interesting and informative. I did not know the Roman-Jewish background of the name Palestine.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks for watching, Joel! We're glad you enjoyed the video.

[@piranha5506]

You need to better represent how uncertain the validity of some this information is. The origin of the name of the region is certainly a relevant political topic and repeating dubious information so surely is irresponsible.

[@MarcianoVenghaus-wc8zt]

Thank u u u i love you do you love my 2❤

[@charliedibe6180]

Regarding the name change from Judea to Syria Palestina from Wikipedia: no evidence exists as to exactly when the name change was implemented or by whom,the name "Palestina" to the whole region had been used by the Greeks for centuries and by then,[26] and the renaming may even have taken place at an earlier date.

[@piranha5506]

I suspected as much

[@patriciajrs46]

He commissioned those projects! Let's be truthful about who did the work. It wasn't Hadrian. His subjects obeyed him and got to live. That was their payment. I will agree he had a lot of great ideas, that he made take place. His treatment of the Jews, of course, was bad.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

We know that it wasn't Hadrian who did the work himself. 😉 Hadrian achieved many great things during his reign, which is why he is known as one of the 'Five Good Emperors', but he certainly wasn't perfect.

[@starcapture3040]

Palestine is the Greek Aramaic name of the region before even the romans were there. Go read Herodotus. Only Jews called it Judaea. Hadrain didn't ive a da.... who was who enemy to who lol he just re organized the region the way Pompey before him did.

[@Røtisi]

My Jewish friends always wince at the mention of his name lol

[@piranha5506]

That’s absurd

[@Røtisi]

@ You should really go look up what he did to the Jews then you’ll understand why it’s not absurd.
