🪷 #Hadrian loved #Antinous so much that, when Antinous died in the Nile in October 130 AD, he declared #Antinoos a god and founded the city of #Antinoopolis on the Nile shoreline and erected temples and raised statues to him throughout the Empire. The last Classical deity ... the ultimate deity! 🪷
🪷 #Antinous sculptures often had inlaid gemstone eyes so that his eyes twinkled divinely. Those gemstones came from far corners of the Roman Empire ... and beyond! Experts have traced the #garnet gemstone eyes of a #Hadrian era bronze sculpture to India. More: greekreporter.com/2026/03/05/r... 🪷
Hadrian and his twin sister, I'dati, arm wrestling on a bright red rug. They both kick their legs excitedly in a near mirror of each other as they are locked in a stalemate arm wrestling.
#MiqoMarch2026 Day 5: Crimson
Back when they were young, before everything was complicated, they used to arm wrestle on the rug in the house.

Tav (Octavel) points to a spot on the map while Hadrian studies it with a furrowed brow. Tav is smiling because he's pretty sure he's right.
Same verse as the first except the camera is pivoted to shoot them from the front, showing how Tav has his hand on Hadrian's left shoulder as they discuss the map.

BATTLE SCENE FROM THE GREAT TRAJANIC FRIEZE, 114-120 CE. ARCH OF CONSTANTINE This triumphal arch is a triumph of spolia, consisting as it does of many pieces of relief work from the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius, intelligently chosen by Constantine in 315-316 to reflect a reassuring programme of pacification and an end to civil war. Four large panels from a Hadrianic relief 30 m long and 3 m high, of which this is one, were reused. This relief is known as the Great Trajanic Frieze, though its original location is unknown. It is often said to have come from Trajan's Forum, though that was intact until at least the reign of Theodoric, two centuries after the arch was built. This scene shows a mêlée between Roman cavalry and infantry and Dacians who are falling or already on the ground. In the background are three trumpeters blowing the curved horns called buccinæ, and the whole scene resembles the front of the Great Ludovisi Sarcophagus, from 250-260 CE.
#ReliefWednesday takes us to the #Arch of #Constantine in #Rome, where a piece of the so-called Great Trajanic #Frieze, probably from the reign of #Hadrian, shows a battle scene from the #Dacian wars which may have influenced the sculptor of the Great #Ludovisi #sarcophagus. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Hadrian and Thancred idling somewhere in Sharlayan, Hadrian leaning against the stone wall while Thancred sits atop it. Both have their arms crossed.

The Worldly Affairs Officer in the foreground wags his finger in the foreground at Louisoix, who appears to be talking back from where he stands behind Hadrian. Hadrian stands close to the Worldly Affairs desk, writing down his answers to their initial questions. He's applying to work and live in Old Sharlayan.
A closer shot of Hadrian writing in his answers, Louisoix slightly out of focus behind him.

Hadrian fills out the paperwork to enter Sharlayan while Louisoix is scolded by the affairs officer.

RELIEF OF TRAJAN'S COLUMN, 118-120 CE. FORUM OF TRAJAN This long helicoidal relief recounts the two campaigns of conquest waged by Trajan to conquer Dacia, in 101-102 and 105-106 CE. It was probably carved after Trajan's death and deification in 117. Originally it was richly painted and had details in metal. This scene is at the beginning of the first campaign, with the huge figure of the river-god Danube at left, watching the profectio, the soldiers marching out to start the hostilities. They are crossing a pontoon bridge built atop boats bound together as the god watches keenly.
#ReliefWednesday today celebrates the greatest of #Roman #relief art, the column of #Trajan in #Rome. It is really a funeral monument, set up by Trajan in 113 CE. The relief might date from early in the reign of #Hadrian, c. 118. This is the beginning of the Dacian campaign. #AncientBluesky 🏺

🪷 #Hadrian clearly vetted many of the Antinous statues. Lips, nose, jaw line and curls conformed to stringent standards. Those pouting lips, those copious curls: It can only be #Antinous. Scholarly treatises examine the "Lock Scheme" of his hair! More: antinousstars.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-tw... 🪷

Hadrian was a learned man who considered himself more learned in the arts of verse and speech than those who taught the subject.

Walking past Hadrian’s Arch and through the Temple of Olympian Zeus site, one can appreciate the majesty in the construction of both these structures and Hadrian's influence in the area; the colossal temple finally completed under the Emperor after over 600 years of construction.
