The marble statue depicts a man named Antinous and dates back to the Imperial Roman Period of Egypt late in the reign of Emperor Hadrian, about 131-138 CE. Hadrian actually founded and named a city, Antinopolis, after Antinous' death in 130 CE. Antinous was soon being worshipped as a deity. His cult figure was known as Osiris-Antinous. (Gregorian Egyptian Museum, Vatican Museums, Rome)
