DescriptionMarble Busts of Hadrian & Antinous, from Rome, Roman Empire, British Museum (8131842911).jpg
Bust of Hadrian
Probably from Rome, Italy
AD 117 - 138
This statue shows Hadrian naked. This nakedness, originally a Greek style, showed that the emperor was heroic and almost god-like.
Bust of Antinous
From Rome, Italy
AD 130-140
The presence of an ivy wreath in this portrait links Antinous to the god Dionysus, the closest Greek equivalent to the Egyptian god Osiris. Roman aristocrats frequently incorporated fragments of classical statuary into the walls of their estates, but the rest of this statue has not been found.
