The Filthy Intimate Life Of Gay Emperor Hadrian of Rome

when we talk about old love stories many things come to mind as well as the famous Romeo and Juliet there are also Lancelot and gwy and Paris and Helen we can talk about many more stories but have you ever heard of Emperor Hadrian of Rome's friendship with another man it was very interesting you might be hoping for a happy finish but I'll give you a big hint first their love story was anything but romantic and it caused a lot of trouble and Scandal people say that the story of hadrien and antinis has never been told I will talk abouthis life love and what he did when the important man in his life died Adrien from humble beginnings over the course of his 21-year Reign hadrien was able to accomplish a great deal more than the previous Kings of Rome this led to his becoming one of the five most successful Roman emperors in the history of the Empire it was in p that young hadrien spent his formative years before he matured Into The Virtuous emperor that he eventually became it was then said by the historian that he was born in Spain but that he later relocated to Rome itwas his mother dosia Paulina who was a woman of aristocratic descent and a member of the illustrious House of Gade and his father Alias hadrianus afer who was a magistrate and a cousin of trun who would go on to become the Roman Roman Emperor hadrien went to Italy when he was mature enough to do so it was there that he began his training in the military and the place where he developed his passion for hunting there he wed the granddaughter of Emperor Tran but it is common knowledge that his marriage to vibia Sabina did not end upbeing a happy one the ascent of hadrien like everyone else who wanted to be ruler hadrien did what most people did and became a senator he was made a military tribute after effectively obtaining a seat in the Roman senate from there he slowly moved up the ranks until he was aester a low-level judge in 101 after that he became a lot more well-known and quickly Rose through the ranks as a senator he rose to the rank of Prader in the year 108 which is the next level of government below the consul then he became governor of lowerpanonia and then Consul which was the highest rank a senator could reach but his job stopped all of a sudden what C cused it most people thought it was because the previous Consul had died but it didn't last long because hadrien rose again when trun died cases Dio and other historians found that plotina who used to be Hadrian's Guardian was a powerful Roman it was said that plotina helped get hadrien promoted remember that hadrien was in charge of a large army under Tran when he found out that tran had adopted him which was a clear signthat he would become emperor after him Tran unexpectedly passed away 2 days later and hadrien was named ruler of Rome by the Army reformer on the throne hadrien in his capacity as Emperor desired to experience everything firsthand on account of the fact that he is a member of the military he was extremely kind to the soldiers and assisted them in reforming the military in his rule reform was the primary focus during his reign he issued an edict that put an end to the practice of executing persons who were enslaved he then wenton to amend the legislation so that in the event that an enslaver was killed at home only their captives who were in close proximity might be tortured for proof personal struggles and triumphs in general he was a good ruler but as the saying goes you can't have everything in spite of all his Fame hadrien was having trouble with his wife an heir as a very important thing to have but hadrien and vibia Sabina were not able to have a child you could say this is one of the worst things about him as a ruler since this happenedWhispers spread all over Rome that he might not be interested in women and claims that he was gay began Sabina looked for another guy to comfort her because her husband wasn't paying attention to her suetonius a Roman historian was one of her loves when hadrien found out about their relationship he kicked suetonius out of the the court as a punishment the noise didn't last that long which was a surprise did better which is what hadrien does best to make up for his failed marriage he kept ruling Rome withstrength and kindness soon people stopped noticing that he didn't have a son or daughter however what they didn't see coming was the next twist in the emperor's very public Love Story who was antinis do you remember how I said hadrien loved to see things for himself that means he went on a lot of trips on one of his trips to Asia he met a man who really interested him after writing a lot of sexy poems about his male friends this almost immediately proved that hadrien liked men the ruler finally found the one who really interested himAntonis wasn't well known but Scholars did write that he was only 14 years old when he met hadrien he was also said to be Greek and not very well off besides that records made it clear that he was really really goodlooking which is why hadrien fell in love with him right away when hadrien met antinis he made him his friend it wasn't long before he couldn't live without his male lover after he took him back to Italy to get a good education it was okay to take in male lovers at that time in fact everyonethought that Kings should have at least one that's why the incident that followed wasn't about them being together when word got out that hadrien and his young male lover were really in love most people weren't sure what to think it didn't help that hadrien always took antinis with him they went to Egypt Greece North Africa and Asia Minor during their trip they also went to a church event in Athens Greece on top of that antinis would go with hadrien to Libya to hunt down a dangerous lion andeven see the tomb of Alexander the Great following all of these events it was clear that Emperor hadrien loved antinis a great deal he would soon cry over losing him the mysterious death of antinis hadrien and antinis were following the Nile antinis tripped and died right away not a single person knows what happened was he careless and fell on his own or did someone push him the kingdom was then filled with theories about how he died some people said antinis chose to jump off to kill himself why at least that's what mostpeople say he might have wanted to die so that people would stop talking badly about his friendship with hadrien he knew that not everyone liked that he was connected to hadrien even though he was still young he may have chosen to kill himself so that hadrien would not be remembered as a gay ruler but as the great leader that he really was another idea is that antinis was killed so that hadrien could live longer at that time people thought that offering human sacrifices was a good way to make someone live longer following this lineof thought it's possible that they chose antinis because they thought he would be easy to kill and killed him on purpose to make hadrien live longer finally we can't say for sure that there wasn't a murder but no one knows why someone would kill him though some people didn't like the fact that hadrien liked him a lot it's not right to kill someone who was so close to the emperor putting aside the question of how he died one thing is for sure hadrien was heartbroken when he died he did reallygreat things after antonus died to begin he built a whole city to honor the man who was his lover the city was named antinoopolis by him after that he built temples all over the country so that people could worship antinis forget about the 2,000 images of antinis that he had made famous Greek artists worked hard to make sure that antinis broad shoulders curly hair and other features stood out so that people would feel like they were looking at the real person when they saw a statue of him his last moments he was 62 years old when died alot of Scholars think it was because of heart failure a condition known in history as augustus's disease may have been linked to the emperor's death the record showed usually this is because someone won't cover his head when it's hot or cold diasia says that when hadrien couldn't get anyone to help him kill himself he started drinking and eating too much which eventually killed him he spent the last few days of his life before he died writing poems and running the Kingdom's business hadrienthen chose to adopt antoninus pasus and make him his Heir he told antoninus pasus that he should adopt Marcus aelius and Lucius vys as his own children after that he was known for the buildings he made and of course his love for antinis that would never end he was buried at puoli which is also where the house of the philosopher Cicero used to be after that his son finished building Hadrian's big tomb in Rome where his body was burned after ruling Rome for 21 long years his ashes were mixed with those ofhis family he had finally found
