A statue of Antinous based on the Townley Antinous in the British Museum. Antinous was a Bithynian Greek youth and a favourite beloved of the Roman emperor Hadrian. After his premature death before his twentieth birthday, Antinous was deified on Hadrian’s orders, being worshipped throughout the Roman empire, sometimes as a god and sometimes as a hero.

This scaled down reproduction is cast in a composite of gypsum, marble and a polymer. It was developed from a 3D scan of the original.
