Hadrian

It has been 1,900 years since Hadrian (76-138 CE) ascended to the throne of Rome, and the Acropolis Museum is marking the anniversary with a temporary exhibition about the man portrayed by historians as a dedicated philhellene and keen admirer of Greek culture, which runs through March 31.

The central district of Muratpaşa in the southern province of Antalya has planned a renovation project for a landscaped area at Hadrian's Gate, known as the "Three Doors," which sits between the walls surrounding the city's historic Kaleiçi neighborhood.

On November 19th Intelligence Squared hosted the ultimate clash of civilisations: Greece vs Rome. But it was also the ultimate clash of intellectual titans.

Artifacts unearthed during excavations at the ancient city of Sagalassos in the southern province of Burdur's A?lasun district and put on display at the Burdur Archaeology Museum draw thousands of visitors every year. 

This year’s excavations have recently started in the 2,500-year-old ancient city of Kyzikos in the northwestern province of Balıkesir’s Erdek district. The works will focus on finding the Hadrian relief, which is expected to shed light on history.
