The story of Antinoos and Hadrian is one of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. In 130 AD, the body of a young man was found on the banks of the Nile, sparking a mystery that would last for centuries. Recent discoveries have shed new light on the life of Antinoos, a beloved companion of Emperor Hadrian, and the city of Antinoopolis, built in his memory. This book tells the story of Antinoos' life, from his early days in Bithynia to his final day, as recorded in his own words. It is a historical account of the major events and personages of the time, bringing to life the story of a young man who gave his life to extend the life of his friend and lover, the Emperor. With its unique perspective and historical accuracy, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Antinoos and the world of ancient Rome.
