A marble bust which depicts Antinous , companion of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (reigned 117-138). While accompanying him on a journey up the Nile, Antinous was tragically drowned. A romantic legend soon sprang up, suggesting he had given his life for Hadrian. The Emperor declared Antinous a god and his cult spread through the empire.
