An interesting item on Pink News for those of us in the North East of England. The site reports a new exhibition at the British Museum later this year. Many of the artefact's at the exhibition relate to his male companion, Antinous, a young Greek.Antinous accompanied Hadrian during his travels. There is a poem written on papyrus, with an image of the couple hunting together, and written memorials Antinous wrote to Hadrian after his death at the exhibition. The full story can be viewed at: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-6533.html Tickets go on sale in February and can be bought via the British Museum site at: http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/future_exhibitions/hadrian_empire_and_conflict.aspx
