Of modern studies the one on which I most depended was Anthony Birley’s
Hadrian, the Restless Emperor
. A quarry of scholarly information, it assembles all that is known or can be guessed about its subject; in particular, through scrutiny of the tiniest clues and clever speculation, it establishes a clear outline of Hadrian’s journeys.

For those with a general interest in the classical world I recommend from below Balsdon’s
Life and Leisure in Ancient Rome
, Bowman’s
Life and Letters on the Roman Frontier—Vindolanda and Its People
, Connolly’s wonderful visual reconstructions in
The Ancient City: Life in Classical Athens and Rome
, Goldsworthy’s
In the Name of Rome: The Men Who Won the Roman Empire
, Hopkins and Beard’s revisionist
The Colosseum
, Paul Johnson’s
A History of the Jews
, Royston Lambert’s (somewhat overcolored)
Beloved and God
, Thorsten Opper’s catalogue,
Hadrian—Empire and Conflict
, and, of course, Marguerite Yourcenar’s study in melancholy,
Memoirs of Hadrian
.

For a full bibliography, readers can consult the
Cambridge Ancient History
,
volume 11,
The High Empire
. What follows is a selection of books and articles that I found useful.
