	Vibia Sabina (C. 83/86-137AD)
		Sabina's hair is tightly plaited, gathered together at the back, and wound around the top of her head, the front of her head surmounted by a series of three tiaras (termed stephane from the Greek for crown, stephanos).
		The eldest daughter of Lucius Vibius Sabinus and Matidia the elder, the emperor Trajan's niece, Vibia Sabina married her distant cousin Hadrian in 100 AD largely due to the instigation of Trajan's wife Plotina.
		Hadrian and Sabina's marriage was a rather unhappy one, Sabina being known for her sharp temper and Hadrian for his cold demeanor.

	(95) Hadrian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		In A.D. 101 Hadrian married Vibia Sabina, a great-niece of Trajan, probably an indication that he was intended as Trajan's heir.
		Sabina died in A.D. 136 or 137 and was deified by Hadrian.
		Sabina differs from most women of the Flavian and Trajanic period in her very simple hair, which is merely pulled back and held in a loose queue.

	Bust of Sabina (Getty Museum)
		Vibia Sabina wed the future Roman emperor Hadrian in an arranged, dynastic marriage in A.D. 100 when she was seventeen years old.
		Sabina was the grand-niece of the ruling emperor Trajan and this union marked Hadrian as his heir.
		After he became emperor in A.D. 117, Hadrian awarded Sabina various rights and honors and he proclaimed her a goddess after her death in A.D. The arrangement of the hair in portraits of Sabina breaks from the elaborate tiered hairstyles favored by the preceding Flavian and Trajanic courts.

	Hadrian - LoveToKnow 1911
		In 97 he was sent to upper Germany to convey the congratulations of the army to Trajan on his adoption by Nerva; and, in January of the following year, he hastened to announce the death of Nerva to Trajan at Cologne.
		On the 21st of November 130, Hadrian (or at any rate his wife Sabina) heard the music which issued at sunrise from the statue of Memnon at Thebes (see Memnon).
		From Egypt Hadrian returned through Syria to Europe (his movements are obscure), but was obliged to hurry back to Palestine (spring, 133) to give his personal attention (this is denied by some historians) to the revolt of the Jews, which had broken out (autumn, 131, or spring, 132) after he had left Syria.

		Sabina was the daughter of L. Vibius and Matidia, and granddaughter of Marciana, the sister of Emperor Trajan.
		Hadrian was thus positioned perfectly to succeed Trajan as emperor and, in 117, Sabina became empress.
		Although she was made Augusta in 128, Sabina had a reputation for faithlessness.

		Sabina probably remained in Rome when Hadrian campaigned against the Dacians between 101 and 106.
		Sabina, however, did accompany her husband to Britain when he campaigned there in 122.
		It was on this journey that Sabina was accompanied by the Greek poet Julia Balbilla, who carved five epigrams on the foot of the Colossus of Memnon in Thebes.

		Under Trajan he served a secretariat of studies (precise functions are uncertain) and a directorate of Imperial libraries.

	Tivoli - Emperor Hadrian (part 1)
		His conjugal union was not very happy, so that Adriano, if he had been able, he would have divorced.
		He didn't trust in the personal court of which his wife had been surrounded, fearing a conspiracy against him; the relationships with Vibia Sabina became so tense that, when she died in 137 a.C., people began to accuse him of uxoricide.
		For this reason, disappointed, alone and sick, he lived isolated and he died the following year, designating like successor Antonino Pio who had great trouble to exceed the hatred of senators against Hadrian in order to make deify him.

		Vibia Sabina, Hadrian's Wife, and Empress of Rome died sometime in the year 136, and was deified in the year 138.

		From a brief passage of the writer Aurelio Vittore, it can be deduced that the Emperor took part directly in the design of the Villa, confirming another piece of information which claims that Hadrian was both architect and mastermind behind the complex.
		A first important datum is that on the sight of the complex another a villa from the Republican era once stood (2nd-1st century B.C.), and perhaps belonged to the wife of the Emperor, Vibia Sabina.
		Hadrian's Villa developed around this more ancient nucleus, which was preserved as the heart of the imperial residence.

		After a short stay at Alexandria he took an excursion up the Nile, during which he lost his favorite Antinous.
		On the 21st of November 130, Hadrian (or at any rate his wife Sabina) heard the music which issued at sunrise from the statue of Memnon at Thebes.

	Hadrian, Bruce Metcalf
		With his memory of Plotina's efforts to place him in power, and the conditions with which all monarch are surrounded, such fears are not entirely unfounded.
		His failure to provide a natural heir may have been simply the result of a lack of closeness in his political marriage to Trajan's grandniece, Vibia Sabina, but one might have thought that duty would lead him to make some effort.
		We see in Hadrian a man well suited to leadership by habits, training, and temperament, at least until the latter years of his reign.

		Matidia Minor is a puzzling character amongst the powerful set of women, all related, that first surrounded the Emperor Trajan and then Hadrian.
		She was never given the title of Augusta, which went to her grandmother, Matidia Major, and sister Vibia Sabina, Hadrian’s wife.
		She was immensely rich, but never married - an anomaly in Roman times - although she was obviously competent in running her affairs and healthy enough to follow her sister and the emperor in their travels.

		For some other imperial women, see Balsdon, 43-164 and the following specific works: Kokkinos on Antonia; Barrett, Agrippina; Temporini and Wardle on the Ulpian-Antonine women; and E. Kettenhofen, Die syrischen Augustae in der historischen Überlieferung (Bonn: Rudolf Habelt, 1979).
		Figures such as Antonia, Pompeia Plotina, Ulpia Marciana, Matidia, and Vibia Sabina largely escaped unpopularity and the censure of the historical authors because they conformed, at least outwardly, to traditional expectations.
		On the other hand, those who were perceived as being overtly involved in politics or were merely thought to have been excessively influential--such as Valeria Messallina, Iulia Agrippina and the Severan empresses--were subject to contemporary resentment, were sometimes murdered, and were often made objects of particularly negative depiction.
