Hadrian died in the year 138 on 10 July, in his [[Roman villa|villa]] at [[Baiae]] at the age of 62, having reigned for 21 years.<ref>Anthony Birley, p. 300</ref> [[Dio Cassius]] and the ''[[Historia Augusta]]'' record details of his failing health; some modern sources interpret the ear-creases on later portrayals (such as the [[Townley Hadrian]]) as signs of [[coronary artery disease]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Cruse|first=Audrey|date=22 December 2009|title=The Emperor Hadrian (fl.

He was buried at [[Puteoli]], near Baiae, on an estate that had once belonged to [[Cicero]]. Soon after, his remains were transferred to Rome and buried in the [[Gardens of Domitia]], close to the almost-complete mausoleum. Upon completion of the [[Castel Sant'Angelo|Mausoleum of Hadrian]] in Rome in 139 by his successor Antoninus Pius, his body was cremated. His ashes were placed there together with those of his wife [[Vibia Sabina]] and his first adopted son, [[Lucius Aelius Caesar]], who also died in 138. The Senate had been reluctant to grant Hadrian divine honours; but Antoninus persuaded them by threatening to refuse the position of Emperor.<ref name="Salmon, 816">Salmon, 816</ref><ref>Dio [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Cassius_Dio/70*.html#1.1 70.1.1]</ref> Hadrian was given a [[temple of Hadrian|temple]] on the [[Campus Martius]], ornamented with reliefs representing the provinces.<ref>Samuel Ball Platner, ''A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome''.
