Adrian, or Hadrian I, (died December 25, 795) was pope from 772 to 795.
The pope, whose expectations had been aroused, had to content himself with some additions to the duchy of Rome, and to the Exarchate of Ravenna, and the Pentapolis in the Marches, which consisted of the "five cities" on the Adriatic coast from Rimini to Ancona with the coastal plain as far as the mountains.
Adrian restored some of the ancient aqueducts of Rome, and rebuilt the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome, decorated by Greek monks fleeing from the iconoclastal persecutions.

Barbarossa was infuriated by the suggestion that he was dependent on the pope, and in the storm which ensued the legates were glad to escape with their lives, and the incident at length closed with a letter from the pope, declaring that by beneficium he meant merely bonum factum or "a good deed," the coronation.
