(Art by #AntoniusSubia) ... As the Sun enters #Aries at the March #Equinox, we honor #Antinous in his special guise as #Antinoos #Mars. Mars, God of War, son of #Jupiter and #Juno, father of #Romulus and #Remus, founders of Rome, was the divine spirit of the Roman Army. His power ran like molten steel in the blood of Romans who he made them invincible. Mars energy flows through all LGBTQIA+ people and empowers us to stand up to fight for justice and equality.

This is #AntoniusSubia's suggestion for how a statue of #Antinous might have looked in an ancient temple ... with a real pink lotus budding from the top of his head and with real ivy leaves around his brow ... with every millimeter painted or gilded from head to toe ... inlaid gemstone eyes ... Imagine the colossal #Braschi #Antinoos/#Dionysus 3.3 m tall (11 feet) in a darkened temple with a sunray illuminating him. Temple of Antinous website: http://www.antinopolis.org/
