	Rome and Romania, Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors, etc.
		It is a long story -- Gibbon's version is now published in three large volumes [The Modern Library], and he only began with the Antonines.
		The succession by appointment, adoption, or marriage of the Antonines is now seen for very nearly the last time.
		The complexity of this, and of events, can be seen, not just in the following genealogy, but in the Chart of the Tetrarchy.

	Antonines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Antonines most often referred to were two successive Roman Emperors who ruled between A.D. and 180: Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, famous for their skilled leadership.
		Also included in those usually considered to be "Antonines" were Lucius Verus (161–169) for a time co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius, and the infamous Commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius.
		Edward Gibbon considers the reign of the Antonines, as well as those of their predecessors Nerva, Trajan, and Hadrian, the height of the Roman Empire (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire).

	CHAPTER - THE EXTENT OF THE EMPIRE IN THE AGE OF THE ANTONINES
		The principal conquests of the Romans were achieved under the republic; and the emperors, for the most part, were satisfied with preserving those dominions which had been acquired by the policy of the senate, the active emulations of the consuls, and the martial enthusiasm of the people.
		Such, under the reign of the Antonines, were the six provinces of Gaul; the Narbonnese, Aquitaine, the Celtic, or Lyonnese, the Belgic, and the two Germanies.
		In the time of the Antonines, the martial regions of Thrace, from the mountains of Haemus and Rhodope, to the Bosphorus and the Hellespont, had assumed the form of a province.

	CHAPTER - THE CONSTITUTION IN THE AGE OF THE ANTONINES
		The sacred title of Augustus was always reserved for the monarch, whilst the name of Caesar was more freely communicated to his relations; and, from the reign of Hadrian, at least, was appropriated to the second person in the state, who was considered as the presumptive heir of the empire.
		The two Antonines (for it is of them that we are now peaking,) governed the Roman world forty-two years, with the same invariable spirit of wisdom and virtue.
		The forms of the civil administration were carefully preserved by Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and the Antonines, who delighted in the image of liberty, and were pleased with considering themselves as the accountable ministers of the laws.

		The Antonines, who wore a fl habit embellished with a large Tau cross, were granted the privilege of letting their pigs run free.
		A medieval hospital was more of a nursing home than a place of active medical treatment, and the Antonine hospitals became associated with one of the nastier endemic diseases, ignis sacer, which became known as St. Anthony's fire.
		Anthony's fire was never as common in England as it was on the mainland, partly because of climatic conditions, and partly because rye was not extensively grown or used on the island.

		Yet even, in the age of the Antonines, when the freedom of the city had been bestowed on the greater number of their subjects, it was still accompanied with very solid advantages.
		The existence of a slave became an object of greater value, and though his happiness still depended on the temper and circumstances of the master, the humanity of the latter, instead of being restrained by fear, was encouraged by the sense of his own interest.
		The progress of manners was accelerated by the virtue or policy of the emperors; and by the edicts of Hadrian and the Antonines, the protection of the laws was extended to the most abject part of mankind.

	The Antonines : The Roman Empire in Transition
		In The Antonines, the eminent historian of classical history, Michael Grant, examines the vital role played by the Antonines in the development and expansion of the Roman Empire.
		He suggests that the Antonines occasioned a major transition in Roman life politics, and that the period over which they presided witnessed extraordinary changes that heralded a new epoch to many.
		The Antonines, he argues, were singularly responsible for ushering the Roman Empire from the ancient world to the early Medieval.

		According to Gibbon, the era of the Antonines, was perhaps the best time to be alive in the history of the west.
		Thus, our survey of the Antonines will be pre-occupies less with biography (though there will be some) than with a study of how the imperial system worked.
		Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian were not technically members of the Antonine family, but they and the Antonines are typically studied together because the rule of the five good emperors (as they're called) was a prolonged period of peace, prosperity and stability within Rome.
