Description

Hadrian loved Greece, and part of his grand plan involved making his mark on the city of Athens. The library he built on the north side of the Acropolis was just one of his building projects, and a contribution to the culture he so admired.

Guest: Associate Professor Caillan Davenport (Head of the Centre for Classical Studies at the Australian National University).
