About your recent addition in Hadrian's article: I am sorry, but I believe that it is not so. The Gibbon's famous quotation, in his chapter I, does not refer to Hadrian's reign concretly, but to the almost totality of the 2nd. century AD, exempting Commodus, be read, for instance, here: Quotations from Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. I think you can anyway adapt it, or even to introduce the quote. Regards. --Alicia M. Canto (talk) 21:41, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are totally right - thanks! I'd like to use this modification instead: In 1776, he stated that Hadrian's epoch was part of the "happiest era of human history". Fleabox (talk) 19:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- You're welcome. Well, it would be much more exact, certainly. --Alicia M. Canto (talk) 07:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
