Emperor Hadrian is also a Roman Consul. Rome has a population exceeding 1 million, making it the largest city in the world. Osroene is returned to native rule by the Roman Empire. Plot of the consuls: Hadrian executes four senators, all former consuls, who had been shown to have plotted against him. His relations with the Senate are strained.
