Descrizione

According to the literary sources, Hadrian was not adopted by the Optimus princeps when he was alive but ascended to the imperial throne thanks to an intrigue orchestrated by Plotina. Modern historians are still debating intensively about this issue. This is why two schools of thought have emerged: the first maintains that the adoption was orchestrated by his wife; the second states that the adoption of the princeps was decided by the Optimus princeps. In this study we come back to this topic and try, through the intersection of literary and archaeological sources, to demonstrate that Trajan had already chosen Hadrian as his successor since 114.
