Antinoöpolis

Minya Governorate, Egypt

Antinoöpolis was a city founded at an older Egyptian village by the Roman emperor Hadrian to commemorate his deified young beloved, Antinoüs, on the east bank of the Nile, not far from the site in Upper Egypt where Antinoüs drowned in 130 AD. Antinoöpolis was a little to the south of the Egyptian village of Besa, named after the god and oracle of Bes. Antinoöpolis was built at the foot of the hill upon which Besa was seated.
