Hadrian and Antinous

fuckyeahancienthistory:

This is Antinous.

Antinous was (probably) Hadrian’s boy toy, and was basically considered to be the hottest thing to have ever graced the planet. He has the third most surviving representations of any historical figure ever (after Augustus and Hadrian). 

Antinous died in an ‘accident’ on the Nile, although some sources say that he was actually sacrificed to the gods by Hadrian because of his beauty. After his death, Antinous was deified. Because he was sexy.

Oh la la.

Can this become super fashionable again?  Because I want one.

But it’s exam time, and I’m spending about 12 hours a day staring at Greek and Roman art, and frankly, I’d rather not do it during my free time as wel.

XD

I promise I’ll be more fun in a week or so when I finish for the summer.
