Zusatztext A meticulously researched and detailed study that probes the surviving evidence (especially inscriptions, coins and sculpture, not least as a counterbalance to the hostile literary sources) about the emperor Hadrian's wife Sabina and, in the process, reveals much about the nature of Roman imperial power in the second century AD. It will be required reading for anyone interested in the reign of the enigmatic emperor Hadrian and, more generally, in the evolving strategies that Roman emperors devised to solidify their rule. Informationen zum Autor T. Corey Brennan is Associate Professor, Department of Classics, at Rutgers University.
