Adriano in Siria

About the show

In Antioch during Hadrian’s early reign, the emperor loves Parthian princess Emirena, who loves Farnaspe. Hadrian’s feelings test his virtue before his marriage to Sabina, to whom he was already engaged. Emirena’s father Osroa attempts to kill Hadrian by setting a fire. Osroa is ultimately spared, Farnaspe marries Emirena, and Hadrian renews his engagement to Sabina.
