Adrianis
Adrianis (also Hadrianis, Ancient Greek: Ἀδριανίς) was a tribe (phyle) added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 12 Athenian tribes (consisting of trittyes and demes) in 126−127 A.D..[1] The tribe was named after the Roman emperor Hadrian. Hadrian first visited Athens in the fall of 125[verification needed] A.D., with the Athenians considering him as their savior. Emperor liked the city and stayed until spring, with his largesse helping to build some of the most interesting buildings of Athens,[2] including the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens. Athens truly worshipped Hadrian.[3]
The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes had one statue added, starting the so-called Period V.
While Athenians added the new phyle to their list at the 7th place,[4] modern researchers use the Roman numeral XV to designate Adrianis.
The 13 demes that formed Adrianis were collected from all 12 old phylai ("rule-of-one"), with the 13th, Antinoeis, newly created and named after Antinous, the Hadrian's favorite.[5]
