Aelius, Caesar, July or August 136 - 1 January 138 A.D.
|Aelius|, |Aelius,| |Caesar,| |July| |or| |August| |136| |-| |1| |January| |138| |A.D.|, "A good case can be made that Aelius may actually have been the illegitimate son of Hadrian, with perhaps the strongest evidence being that after Aelius' death he mourned for him like a lost son, and even made the adoption of Lucius Verus by Antoninus Pius a condition of Pius' adoption by Hadrian. Hadrian had also arranged the engagement of Aelius' daughter, Fabia, to Pius, so in reality he arranged for Aelius' son to become an Augustus and Aelius' daughter to become an Augusta. The adoption of Aelius was marked by games and a donative." - Moneta Historical Reference
