On the rare occasions when he was at home he continued his practice of consolidation, most notably codifying and humanizing (by the abolition of torture) a pretty haphazard legal system.* He also found time to build the most stupendous villa for himself (an estate of twenty-seven hectares containing a hundred buildings, many copied from things he had seen on his travels) at Tivoli, just outside Rome, and to commission the Pantheon (seep. 136). He had a lover called Antinous, who died young and whom Hadrian subsequently deified (generally frowned upon, but not as bad as making your horse consul, see p.101).
