European Roman History

⚜️Vibia Sabina⚜️

83-137 AD
The Roman Empress and second cousin to:
The Roman Emperor Hadrian who she married at 17.

She wielded influence through her elevated station, and known for her grace.

vibia sabina, wife of emperor hadrian. oh, but I know she was so much more. (yes, I'm crying about historical women who were underrepresented by history)

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

"moody and difficult" weird way to say beautiful and perfect but okay

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

so unbelievably exited for this

[Amanda Foreman 💙 🇺🇦 @DrAmandaForeman]

On July 10, 138, Emperor Hadrian died—his legacy endures, but women like his wife Vibia Sabina, are too often left out of the story. My book, The World Made by Women (2026), argues that women’s history is world history—no longer a side note, but the main narrative. #ComingSoon

@Repubblica1849 I have to agree! She's such an intresting accumulation of history in one person.

[Following Hadrian @carolemadge]

What does it mean to follow Hadrian's first voyage for four years? You walk in his footsteps across three continents, drive thousands of kilometres, visit hundreds of ancient sites, take thousands of photos, and spend countless hours researching at home. Here's a thread with all 21 articles published on my FH blog. #Hadrian1900

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

@Repubblica1849 I'm curious about Maria Malchis' standing in order for her son to be in the court/learning the arts alongside it, and if this was a normal occurance, or a special case. My Latin translation skills are atrocious so this is a very intresting insight!

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

people spend a lot of time dedicated to Antinous (understandably) but I never see anyone talk about Lucius Vitalis, who also died in the emperor's travelling court at 17.

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

she is SO beautiful i don't understand how anyone could call this shrewish and morose 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

@Repubblica1849 thank you!

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

@Repubblica1849 Oh good! I was stuck for finding the actual source and was lacking secondary information. Will be looking more into this now.

[ria 🍓 @riamoons]

@Repubblica1849 I believe I've only read it in this source which may be slightly outdated, but it's still intresting nonetheless!
