Antinoeion at Hadrian's Villa

tomb · 30 BC – 300 AD

A sacred precinct at the western end of Villa Hadriani, comprising two temples at opposite (north and south) ends of a plaza or garden, and (on the western edge of this complex) a small colonnaded hemicycle. Here, Hadrian may have planned to build a large, semi-circular temple-tomb for Antinous, in place of which his successors built the colonnaded hemicycle.
