The Love Between Emperor Hadrian and Antinous A Romantic Connection in Antiquity and its Modern Significance

The story of Hadrian and Antinous, viewed through the prism of the modern world, impressively illustrates how love and relationships can transcend the societal norms of their time and can be celebrated in every era. Their relationship, captured in art and literature as a symbol of true love and devotion, connects the ancient world with our present. It shows that love, devotion, and human emotions are timeless and universal, elements that exist independently of time and space.

Within the rich history of the Roman emperors, often marked by power plays and political strategies, one relationship stands out in particular: that between Emperor Hadrian and Antinous. This connection, which blossomed in the 2nd century AD, was markedly different from the political alliances of the time and is today considered one of the most profound and significant romantic relationships of antiquity.

Hadrian, known as one of the most prominent Roman emperors, ruled from 117 to 138 AD and maintained during his reign a close and possibly romantic relationship with Antinous, a young Greek of extraordinary beauty. Antinous, who entered the life of the emperor, quickly became a central figure at the imperial court and accompanied Hadrian on numerous journeys. Their relationship, immortalized in many sculptures and artworks, attests to Hadrian's admiration and veneration for Antinous's beauty and grace.

The sudden end of this relationship came with the tragic death of Antinous in 130 AD, the circumstances of which remain mysterious to this day. Some historians suspect an accident, while others speculate about a possible suicide out of devotion to Hadrian. The death of Antinous left the emperor in deep mourning, which was expressed in the construction of temples and cults in honor of Antinous in various parts of the empire.

Love Letters from the Past Shaina Tranquilino November 6, 2024

Mrs. Becker found the box on an ordinary Thursday, hidden at the back of a dusty shelf in her grandparents’ attic. She had come to help her mother sort through old belongings, but this box caught her eye, an unassuming wooden chest tied with a faded ribbon.

Inside, she discovered stacks of yellowed letters, all tied neatly with string and marked with careful dates, going back to the early 1940s. Her grandfather's handwriting covered the envelopes, every address penned in an old-fashioned, looping script. She sank onto the attic floor, pulled out the first letter, and began to read.

"To my dearest Margaret," it began.

Each letter painted a picture of her grandparents that she had never fully seen. Her grandmother, Margaret, had been vivacious, dreaming of moving to the big city, learning languages, seeing the world. Her grandfather, Edward, had been more grounded, content with small-town life but drawn to her ambition, enchanted by her dreams and her stubborn determination.

The letters revealed how they had been separated during the war, how Edward had written to her from distant military bases, each letter pouring his heart onto the paper in tender prose. "I miss you as the sun misses the evening sky," he wrote once. "I feel every mile between us like a weight on my chest, but knowing that your heart waits for me—just as mine waits for you—makes every step bearable."

Mrs. Becker felt a warmth rise in her chest, a sense of familiarity and longing she hadn’t known she shared with them. She read on, watching their love grow in ink on the paper as they recounted small moments of their lives: her grandmother finding joy in gardening, her grandfather feeling nervous before his first job interview after the war. They told each other things they couldn’t tell anyone else, opening their souls in these letters with a vulnerability and trust that moved her to tears.

The last letter in the pile was from her grandmother, sent just before Edward returned from the war. "When I think of you," it said, "I don’t see a perfect man, but I see my home, my joy, my dear companion, who makes me a little stronger every day."

As Mrs. Becker closed the final letter, she realized how different their love had been from the whirlwind romances she’d always imagined. It was quiet, steady, built on gratitude and understanding. She felt a renewed respect for the life they’d built, one of small kindnesses and laughter, of weathering storms and reveling in sunlit moments.

Standing up, she held the letters to her chest, feeling as if they had been written to her as well. She could almost hear her grandmother's voice, soft and gentle, reminding her of what real love looked like—not perfect, but true, built letter by letter, day by day.

"True romance isn’t just in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments—holding hands, stolen glances, and the feeling of home in each other’s arms."
