PHOTO: Rare Bust of Wrinkled Caesar Found

National Geographic reporting:

A marble bust of an aging Julius Caesar—which may date back to 46 B.C.—has been found by divers in the Rhône River in southern France, officials say. The life-size sculpture (shown in a photo released this week) is etched with deep wrinkles and a balding pate.

The bust may be the oldest known representation of the famous Roman leader. Most known ancient sculptures of Caesar were created after his death.

This was not the only statue found and the others span time as to when they were created. Archaeologists are unsure of why these statues were dumped into the Rhone River...

Cool find though!
