Season 4, Ep. 4: A Conversation with Carole Raddato (Following Hadrian)

Carole Raddato is a photographer and world traveller who since 2012 has been following in the steps of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and has visited more than 1,000 sites, museums, and exhibitions. She writes about her expeditions on her popular blog, Following Hadrian, and posts images of the art and architecture of Hadrian from around Europe, Africa, and the Near East at Following Hadrian Photographs. Not only are her photographs spectacular, but she also makes them available for free under the Creative Commons Share Alike license. In order to preserve and share her photos, in 2019 she made a major gift of approximately 30,000 of them to the American Academy in Rome Library. She has published several articles on her study of Hadrian and has also been featured in documentaries by the BBC and the British Museum, among others. According to IMDB, Carole also appeared in the Hammer vampire film, Beyond the Rave. You can most easily follow her work at FollowingHadrian.com or on social media @CaroleMadge. In this episode, we talk about the “Hadrian 1900 Project” and her growing collection of Hadrian coins, which she acquires under an extraordinary set of rules.
