Athens, Agora. Cuirassed statue of Hadrian found on the 25th of July, 1931. The two youthful male heads shown in profile on the hips of Hadrian have been generally (but unconvincingly) assumed to represent Medusa, though they undeniably recall the traits of Antinous. The statue was re-erected near the spot of its discovery on the 9th of February, 1932 (first picture), where it still stands today. «In profile and hair-style with a fillet, it is almost identical with the idealised statue of him as an ephebe later to be raised in Olympia» (Royston Lambert, 1984)

Demnach kann die Ergänzung als Antinous nicht das richtige getroffen haben.» (Alexander Conze, 1891)

Brussels
Brussels, Musée du Cinquantenaire. Head of Antinous, fragment of a bas-relief. Unknown provenance; its workmanship allows to assign it to a Roman workshop and to trace it back to an imperial villa, possibly Tivoli.
Cairo
The Antinoopolitan Lovers. Cairo, Egyptian Museum. Inv. No CG 33267, exhibited in Room 14, in the First Floor. Funerary portrait found at Antinoopolis, probably by Albert Jean Gayet, who unearthed numerous painted portraits in the area from 1896 to 1911. Exhibited in the "Exposition Universelle" of 1900 in Paris, it is a double portrait, with a diameter of 61 cm, and dated between 130-140 AD, referred to as the Tondo of the Brothers. Some scholars now think that the two men depicted were lovers. But of even more significance are the small images of Greco-Egyptian gods placed above their shoulders. The older man is guarded by Hermanubis, a god of the underworld; the younger is watched over by a deity at first identified as Harpocrates, but Dr. Klaus Parlasca in "Mumienporträts und verwandte Denkmäler" (1969) identified it first as Osiris Antinous, the patron god of Antinoopolis. This would make the Tondo the only painting of Antinous to have survived, and the only image of two probable members of his cult.
