Vibia Sabina Totally Explained

Everything about Vibia Sabina totally explained

Vibia Sabina (c. 86-136 or 137) was a Roman Empress, wife and third cousin to Roman Emperor Hadrian. She was born about 86 to Salonina Matidia, niece of Roman Emperor Trajan and Lucius Vibius Sabinus, a man of consular rank. Sabina along with her grandmother, mother, her sister Matidia Minor and half sisters lived and were raised in the household of Trajan and his wife Pompeia Plotina. She married Hadrian in 100, at the Roman Empress Pompeia Plotina's request, for Hadrian to succeed her great uncle, in 117. Sabina's mother was also fond of Hadrian and allowed him to marry her daughter.
They had no children and had an unhappy marriage. It seems that she once aborted a child of theirs. Sabina was strong and independent and her beliefs in marriage didn't sit well with the Emperor. Sabina had an affair with one of Hadrian's slave boys. In 128, she was awarded with the title of Augusta.
She died in 136 or 137, before her husband, of unknown causes. There are rumours that Hadrian poisoned her, however there isn't enough evidence to prove this.
