Antinoo (circa 110-130 CE), a youth of extraordinary beauty from Bithynia, was the companion of Emperor Hadrian, with whom he formed a deep bond. He died tragically by drowning in the Nile, an event that led Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor and found the city of Antinopoli. Antinoo became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments that depict him with divine features, uniting Greek, Roman and Egyptian influences.
