The material was photographed over a seven year period. The imagery was inspired by the love affair of the Roman emperor Hadrian and his Ephebe lover Antinous. A sixth image (Mithras) was edited out. Edition number 1/3 of the portfolio was purchased by the (now defunct) Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. The tale is not portrayed with live people, rather artfully photographed Roman statues from museums in Turkey, Spain, and England.
