 | | HADRIANUS (Publicus Aelius), born at Rome, according to some; according to others, at Italica, a colonial city of Spain, where his family, originally of Hadria in Italy, was established from the time of the Scipios - that is to say, from about two centuries before Christ. |
 | | His father was Aelius Hadrianus Afer, his mother Domitia Paulina; and he was born in A.D.76 (year of Rome 829) on the 9th of February. |
 | | Losing his father at the age of ten, he was placed under the guardship of Trajan, his cousin and fellow countryman (afterwards emperor), at that time holding the office of pretor. |
