A pencil drawing of head of the portrait bust of Antinous in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Thasian marble, 130 - 138 AD.
Antinous (111 – 130AD) was a Bithynian Greek youth and a favourite or beloved of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Following his premature death before his 20th birthday, Antinous was deified on Hadrian's orders, being worshipped in both the Greek East and Latin West, sometimes as a god (θεός) and sometimes merely as a hero (ἥρως).
