Antoninus Pius (138–161 AD) presided over a period of relative peace and prosperity, succeeding his adoptive father Hadrian. His reign emphasized careful administration, legal reform and public works, while his generals advanced Rome’s British frontier to the Antonine Wall in Scotland. He maintained good relations with the Senate and left a stable succession to his adopted sons, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.
