From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Deification)
"The deification of Antinous, his medals, statues, temples, city, oracles, and constellation, are well known, and still dishonor the memory of Hadrian. Yet we remark, that, of the first fifteen emperors, Claudius was the only one whose taste in love was entirely correct." --Edward Gibbon |
