Chapter 5
Sebastian was a captain in the Praetorian Guard and the favourite of the Emperor Diocletian, who nevertheless ordered Sebastian's archers to execute him with their arrows. The image of the young man tied to a tree, naked and pierced by arrows, with a combination of agony and ecstasy on his face, would eventually become the gay icon par excellence.
