• After the brutal and tyrannical reigns of those previous Roman Emperors, Hadrian is generally regarded by history as a “good” Emperor, and according to Edward Gibbon (the author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) his reign marks the start of “The Age of the Antonines”, a period of relative calm and peace for the Roman Empire, answering to the White Horse period of the Roman Empire, foretold in the prophecy of Revelation chapter 6:1-2. We read:
• Rev. 6:1   “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
