View through CrossRef
AbstractAntinoos, now mainly remembered as Hadrian's young male companion and as the subject of portraits in stone and on coins, was born between 105 and 110CEon the territory of Bithynion, a moderately sized city of Bithynia in northwestern Asia Minor. Nothing is known of his parents or social status, or of the date when he first met Hadrian. Antinoos appeared in the emperor's entourage and joined him in his favorite sport of hunting but is not recorded to have had any interaction with any other member of the court. Though Hadrian had strained relations with his wife, Sabina, there is no evidence that they were caused by his connection with Antinoos.
