Roman Empire

Emperor Hadrian builds the city Aelia Capitolina on the location of Jerusalem.
The Praetor's Edict is definitively codifed by Salvius Julianus on Hadrian's orders. This change means that senatorial decrees become a mere confirmation of the imperial speech (oratio principis) which initiated them.
Reorganization of the Imperial Council: Central administration is reinforced, and administrative positions are entrusted to knights according to a very strict hierarchy. Under the reorganization, the Roman Senate is excluded from controlling the business of state.
Hadrian restores the monarchist policy of Claudius and Domitian. The equestrian order is given full legal status and attains the second order of the state.
Italy is divided into legal districts managed by consuls, a direct blow to the power and prestige of the Senate.
