Hadrian's arch in athens 



The Emperor Hadrian was the greatest of all the Roman benefactors of Athens. He 

 inaugurated an era of municipal improvement, built the enormous Olympicum, and enlarged 

 the city walls to include his new and handsome suburb of Hadrianopolis. The Arch of 

 Hadrian shown here stood at the boundary between the old and new town.
