This map illustrates the Roman Emperor Hadrian’s journey through Achaea (123–125 CE). It was a significant episode in the reign of Hadrian, reflecting his admiration for Greek culture and his commitment to revitalizing the region. During his travels, he visited key cities such as Athens, Corinth, and Delphi, engaging with local elites and initiating projects to restore and enhance Hellenic traditions.

In Athens, Hadrian inaugurated the construction of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and contributed to the city's cultural revival, including the establishment of the Panhellenion, a league of Greek cities aimed at uniting and celebrating their shared heritage. His journey strengthened ties between Rome and the Greek provinces, leaving a lasting architectural and cultural enrichment legacy throughout Achaea.
