Hadriani ad Olympum, or simplyHadriani orHadrianoi (Ancient Greek:Ἀδριανοί), was a town ofancient Bithynia, not far from the western bank of the riverRhyndacus. It was built, as its name indicates, by the emperorHadrian, and for this reason did not exist in the time ofPtolemy. As its name indicates, it was situated on a spur ofMount Olympus. Hadriani was the birthplace of the rhetoricianAelius Aristides, who was born in 117. In the ecclesiastical writers the town is known as the see of a bishop in theHellespontine province.[1][2] No longer a residential see, it remains atitular see of theRoman Catholic Church.[3]
Its site is located nearOrhaneli inAsiatic Turkey.[4][5]
