Adjacent to the Forum, at the junction of the same cardo, and the other decumanus, Hadrian built a large temple to the goddess Venus, which later became the Church of the Holy Sepulchre ; despite 11th century destruction, which resulted in the modern Church having a much smaller footprint, several boundary walls of Hadrian's temple have been found among the archaeological remains beneath the Church.

The crusaders investigated the eastern ruins on the site, occasionally excavating through the rubble, and while attempting to reach the cistern, they discovered part of the original ground level of Hadrian's temple enclosure ; they decided to transform this space into a chapel dedicated to Helena ( the Chapel of Saint Helena ), widening their original excavation tunnel into a proper staircase.

To the east of the Chapel of Saint Helena, the excavators discovered a void containing a 2nd century drawing of a Roman ship, two low walls which supported the platform of Hadrian's 2nd century temple, and a higher 4th century wall built to support Constantine's basilica.

The latter Chapel contains archaeological remains from Hadrian's temple and Constantine's basilica.

* 326: Constantine's mother Saint Helena visits Jerusalem and orders the destruction of Hadrian's temple to Venus which had been built on Calvary.

There is certainly evidence that just 30 years after Hadrian's temple had been built, Christians associated it with the site of Golgotha ; Melito of Sardis, a late 2nd century bishop in the region, described the location as in the middle of the street, in the middle of the city, which matches the position of Hadrian's temple within the late 2nd century city.

However, Hadrian's temple had actually been located there simply because it was the junction of the main north-south road ( which is now the Suq Khan-ez-Zeit, etc.

To one of Hadrian's visits, also, we may conjecturally assign the foundation of the great temple of the god Marnas, which the Vita describes with a mixture of pride and abhorrence.

Archaeological evidence shows that Senecio had been rebuilding the defences of Hadrian's Wall and the forts beyond it, and Severus ' arrival in Britain prompted the enemy tribes to sue for peace immediately.

" Antinous was from Bithynium, a Bithynian city which we also call Claudiopolis, and he had become Hadrian's boy-favourite ( paidika ); and he died in Egypt, either by falling into the Nile, as Hadrian writes, or, as the truth is, having been offered in sacrifice ( hierourgethesis ).

Although the exact reason for the wall's construction is unknown, it may have been connected with the invasion of northern Britain by Picts, who overran Hadrian's Wall in the 180s.
