Concerned by the instability which followed Trajan’s expansionism, Hadrian ended the Parthian War by abandoning the provinces of Armenia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria. He then toured the Roman Empire, organizing stable, defensible borders and pushing for cultural unity. The ensuing peace would see the peak of Roman power and wealth.
