Hadrian

Adopted son and successor of Trajan, the most cosmopolitan of the imperial Romans. He abandoned Trajan's Mesopotamian conquests as indefensible and consolidated the frontiers with engineering — Hadrian's Wall in northern Britain is the most famous of his works. Bisexual, deeply Hellenophile, and devoted to his young Bithynian lover Antinous, whom he deified after Antinous drowned in the Nile under suspicious circumstances.
