Yes, and no. The Roman Emperor Nero married one of his male slaves. This was not his only concurrent marriage. It was not legal under Roman, but since he was the Emperor, it was legal for him to do as he pleased. So, at least one legal same-sex marriage existed in ancient times.

Other than that, however, there are myriad references to homosexuality in ancient times, but not in the context of same-sex marriage. Homosexual activity depicted in ancient literature and art seems to be more recreational and extra-marital.
