Under the empire the Aelian name became still more celebrated. It was the name of the emperor Hadrian, and consequently of the Antonines, whom he adopted. A number of landmarks built by Hadrian also bear the name "Aelius". The "Pons Aelius" is a bridge in Rome, now known as the "Ponte Sant'Angelo". "Pons Aelius" also refers to a Roman settlement in Britannia Inferior, now the site of Newcastle upon Tyne, while "Aelia Capitolina" was a Roman colony built on the ruins of Jerusalem.
