How Hadrian Helped and Hurt Rome.
I, Hadrian, the great Roman Emporer, am finally retiring. I decided to write a story on my life and my influence on the Roman Empire. During my reign, I did many things that would be an important part in Rome's history that will be forever remembered. The greatest of those acheivements was building Hadrian's Wall. But however, some people think that some of the stuff that I've done over the years, has eventually led to hurting Rome.
By far my most famous acheivment as Emporer, was building Hadrian's Wall. This wall was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain. In the Empire, it was the strongest and most heavily guarded border. Although the wall was mainly used for military reasons, but its many tunnels have been used for trading and levy taxation. But no matter what it was used for, it was and will always be as important to everyone in Rome as it is now.
Another great acheivement that I have accomplished is rebuilding the Panthenon. I rebuilt this building to honor all of the Roman Gods. After I had finsished the construction of the Panthenon, I rebuilt the Temple of Venus and Roma, one of the largest temples in all of Rome. I rebuilt it for Venus Felix (the bringer of good fortune), and Roma Aeterna (Eternal Rome). Although, these two buildings might not be standing many years from now, I would like everyone to know that I had rebuilt two of the greatest buildings ever.
However, there have been things in my life that I have done that most people would feel were failures. The biggest one of these was supposedely causing a Jewish revolt in 132. It is said that it was caused because I rebuilt Jerusalem. However, the revolt was said to have been cause when I did not allow for the Jewish people to be there except for one day a year. Because of this, it is believed that the Jewish people revolted which caused great harm to Rome.
As I look back onto my life as Emporer of Rome, I remember doing great things for the empire. However, it is arguable that I have caused great harm as well. But overall, most people will remember me for building Hadrian's Wall. I just hope I'm not remembered for the Jewish revolt of 132. But in my poinion, and in the opinion of many of my followers in Rome, I have been one of the greatest emporers who will always be remembered.
