Hadrian's Wisdom Wasn't Limited to Law and Justice

When Hadrian arrived in rome he was greeted by a more or less joyful citizen body, but was scorned by a super duper pist off senate. No one in the senate believed a word of the trumped up charges, and the murderous coercion enraged them to a man. In essence, hadrian knew that he had stepped in at big time and that he needed to do everything in his power to repair the damage the murders had caused. He pleaded innocence in the affair and claimed his subordinates had acted without his knowledge. After all, time was the only salve that would truly heal their wounds.
