Dieses Video besteht eigentlich aus 5Teilen und ich habe sie halt mal zusammen gefügt

Intro 1v5 (01:26)

Hadrian: a new emperors 2v5
When Hadrian became emperor he faced rebellion and attack. He went on to strengthen the Roman Empire and create a unified sense of Roman identity (3 minutes 3 seconds).

Building the wall 3v5
In AD122 Hadrian ordered a mighty frontier system to be built across the north of Britain. The result was Hadrian's Wall, a 73 mile barrier stretching from the Solway Firth on the west coast of Britain to the River Tyne on the east coast.
Its purpose was to defend the Roman Empire from the barbarians to the North. (3 minutes 14 seconds).

The imperial palace 4v5
Hadrian built himself a vast palace in the countryside, the villa Adriana in Tivoli about 30 kilometres east of Rome.
It was a huge complex, designed to accommodate thousands of people. It was his administrative capital and represents his empire in miniature. (2 minutes 25 seconds)

The power of image 5v5
For many years Hadrian was perceived as a peace-loving admirer of Greek culture and customs, a philhellene.
But the one statue on which this long-standing perception was based is not all that it should be.
Curator Thorsten Opper and conservator Tracey Sweek investigate. (4 minutes 10 seconds)
