The Townley Antinous is a marble portrait head of the Greek youth Antinous, the boyfriend or lover of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, wearing an ivy wreath. It is now part of the collection of London's British Museum, and was part of the Townley Marbles. Only the head is ancient, once belonging to statue dating from c. 130–140 and the late reign of Hadrian (r. 117–138); the bust is a modern addition. The portrait probably shows the youth as Dionysus–Bacchus. The bust was acquired along with the rest of the antiquities collected by 18th-century Grand Tourist and Fellow of the Royal Society, Charles Townley. A drawing of the bust attributed to Vincenzo Pacetti is also in the museum's collection.

Le portrait montre probablement Antinoüs en Dionysos-Bacchus. Le buste a été acquis avec le reste des antiquités rassemblées par Charles Townley, adepte du Grand Tour et membre de la Royal Society du XVIIIe siècle.

The bust was acquired along with the rest of the antiquities collected by 18th-century Grand Tourist and Fellow of the Royal Society, Charles Townley. A drawing of the bust attributed to Vincenzo Pacetti is also in the museum's collection. The head, carved from Parian marble, was believed to have been found on the Janiculum hill near the Villa Doria Pamphili in Rome in 1770, in an area then known as Italian: Tenuta della Tedesca, lit. 'Germanwoman's estate'. It and the remains of the statue to which it belonged were found used as spolia in a roadside wall near the Porta San Pancrazio, a gate in the Aurelian Walls. Townley bought the head in July 1773 from Thomas Jenkins, the antiquary and art dealer, for £150. The head was already in Britain by June 1774, probably having been owned previously by John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset, from whom Jenkins wrote in July 1773 that it was "to be received". (en)
  • L'Antinoo Townley è un ritratto marmoreo raffigurante Antinoo che indossa una corona di edera; fa parte della collezione del British Museum di Londra ed era parte delle , protagonista di un Grand Tour e membro della Royal Society, che lo acquistò nel XVIII secolo, insieme ad altre opere antiche. Soltanto la testa è antica, parte di una statua risalente al 130-140, negli ultimi anni in cui al potere vi era Adriano (fu imperatore dal 117 al 138); il busto è un'aggiunta successiva. Probabilmente l'Antinoo ha degli attributi che lo riconducono alla rappresentazione di Bacco. Nella collezione del museo è presente anche un disegno dell'opera attribuito a Vincenzo Pacetti. La testa, scolpita in marmo pario, si ritiene sia stata ritrovata nel 1770 sul Gianicolo, nei pressi della Villa Doria Pamphilj a Roma, in un'area nota come Tenuta della Tedesca: questa e i resti della statua di cui faceva parte vennero utilizzati come materiale di reimpiego in un muro nelle vicinanze di Porta San Pancrazio, una delle porte delle Mura aureliane. Townley si appropriò della testa nel luglio del 1773, pagandola £150 a , antiquario e mercante d'arte. Essa era in Gran Bretagna lo stesso mese, dapprima, con buone probabilità, di proprietà di John Sackville, III duca di Dorset, da cui "doveva essere ricevuta", stando a quanto scrisse Jenkins proprio in quel periodo.
