ANNA MARIA REGGIANI SHOWS A VIEW OF THE TEMPLE BUILT BY ROMAN EMPEROR
HADRIAN IN TIVOLI.
Anna Maria Reggiani, superintendent of archeology for the Lazio region,
shows off the temple built by Roman emperor Hadrian in honour of the
death of his young male lover at Hadrian's sprawling villa some 30 km
(18.6 miles) south of Rome November 13, 2002. The ruins of the enormous
semi-circular structure were recently uncovered after being lost to the
world for almost 2, 000 years. The find provides fresh insight into one
of the world's most famous homosexual relationships. REUTERS/Vincenzo
