#HadrianFactTuesday - Did you know that Hadrian had a lifelong passion for hunting?
The emperor was so devoted to hunting that he faced reprimands in his youth, and he continued to hunt frequently during his reign. During his travels, hunting was a recurring activity. Notably, during his time in Asia Minor, he founded the city of Hadrianotherae (meaning ‘Hadrian’s Hunts’) after a successful hunt in which he killed a she-bear. He also went hunting for boar in Pannonia, riding his favourite horse, Borysthenes. Unfortunately, Borysthenes died in Gallia Narbonensis during one such hunt. This event is commemorated by Hadrian, who composed an epitaph in honour of Borysthenes.
During his Egyptian tour, Hadrian hunted in the Libyan Desert with his beloved companion, Antinous. This event is commemorated in both literature and art. The poet Pancrates wrote a poem about the hunt, fragments of which survive on papyrus. The poem describes Hadrian and Antinous assembling for the hunt, with Hadrian striking the lion with his spear and ultimately saving Antinous from danger. The Hadrianic tondi (reliefs later reused on the Arch of Constantine) commemorate occasions when Hadrian and Antinous hunted together, including hunts for bears, wild boars, and lions.
Hadrian's love for hunting was also commemorated in coinage. One such coin depicted the emperor with the head of a she-bear on the reverse, celebrating both the hunt and the founding of the city Hadrianotherae.

🪷 In the centre of the cuirassed chest of this marble bust of #Hadrian is, not a traditional #Medusa "Gorgoneion," but the instantly recognisable face of #Antinous! Excavated 1995 in Kynouria, Peloponnese, now in the Astros Museum. Symbolically, Antinous shields his emperor, warding off all evil and misfortune! 🪷
