Panhellenion
The Panhellenion () or Panhellenium was a league of Greek city-states established in the year 131–132 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian while he was touring the Roman provinces of Greece. The League was established following a ceremony at the Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, the capital city of the Panhellenion. Evidence suggests that the Panhellenion continued to survive until the 250s AD.
Adrianis
Adrianis (also Hadrianis, ) was a tribe () added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 12 tribes in 126−127 AD. The tribe was named after the Roman emperor Hadrian. Hadrian first visited Athens in the fall of 125 AD, with the Athenians considering him as their savior. The emperor liked the city and stayed until spring, with his largesse helping to build some of the most interesting buildings of Athens, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Athens truly worshipped Hadrian.
