Anyone who appreciates twinks should check out the surviving busts and statues of Antinous in the Vatican's collection of ancient Roman artifacts. Antinous was a beautiful teen boy of Greek ancestry living in Bithynia (a Roman province located in today's modern Turkey) during the early 2nd century AD. He became the lover of the respected Roman Emperor Hadrian. Shortly thereafter, Antinous died under suspicious circumstances by drowning in the Nile River while he and Hadrian's entourage had been traveling through Egypt. The grief-stricken Emperor posthumously had Antinous deified, and a city (Antinoopolis) was named in honor of the teen.
