ANTINOUS WHO WAS ADORED BY EMPEROR HADRIAN
"Antinous " (138-161) Vatican Museum, Vatican, Italy
This representation in marble of Antinous, the beloved youth of Emperor Hadrian, stands next to that of the Emperor, a delicate gesture by the curators of the Vatican Museums. Antinous drowned in the Nile in 130 AD while touring Egypt with the Emperor. In profound grief, Hadrian promoted commemorations and display of portrait statues of Antinous across the Roman Empire - today examples of this are reflected by the fact that in virtually every major European museum there is a representation of Antinous. Hadrian profound affection for Antinous was unusual, even for those times when homosexual affairs were not uncommon.
