Hadrian’s personality combined a variety of elements and balanced both universal and local values, being the ultimate expression of an empire that encompassed diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. The unity of the empire through diversity is evident in his relationship with each of the three cities that can be considered as his ‘homelands’: Italica -his ancestors’ place of origin; Rome -the city where he grew up, the heart of his empire; and Athens -his beloved cultural ‘homeland’ whose citizenship he proudly held about his mid-thirties.

 

Organised by the Directorate of Prehistoric & Classical Antiquities, Ephorate of Antiquities of the City of Athens (Hellenic Ministry of Culture) and the Institute of Historical Research, Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity, «Roman Attica Project».

Polly Low, Professor of Ancient History, Durham University

This lecture will use a selection of case studies to explore the problem of identifying and analysing ’empire’ and ‘imperialism’ in Classical Greece; a particular aim of the lecture is to show how far the practices and ideologies of the fifth-century ‘Athenian Empire’ dominate not only modern but also ancient models of coercive interstate power.
