Huge Roman Statue Found In Turkey
Remains of a beautifully carved 15ft sculpture of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius have been discovered at an archaeological dig in Turkey.

The colossal statue was uncovered from a Roman-era bath in Salagassos, western Turkey, that had been covered in rubble since an earthqauke in the seventh century.

A giant marble head with bulging eyes characteristic of Aurelius was dug up as well as the lower legs and a right hand holding up a globe.

The statue was partially destroyed when the chamber, located high in the Turkish mountains, was filled with debris from the earthqauke between 540AD and 620AD.
