More colossal finds at Sagalassos

The head, right arm and lower legs of a huge statue of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius have been uncovered by archaeologists in the ancient city of Sagalassos in Turkey.

The 15-foot statue was originally located in the frigidarium, the coldest and largest room in the Roman baths at Sagalassos, where two other statues have already been found.

From the Telegraph.

Just want to say how much I enjoy your page. I found your page maybe 2 months ago and I check it out weekly to read your updates. I've long enjoyed history and art so I find your updates fulfilling. I live in Kirkwood, Missouri though I access your site from downtown St. Louis where my office is. Keep up the good work,
