During work in the historic center of Rome, the builders discovered a piece of marble sculpture in the form of a female head. It has been reported New York Post.
A female head carved in Greek marble was found in the foundations of a wall on the east side of the Piazza in Rome and is currently under construction. The city’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, announced the discovery on his personal Twitter blog, noting that “the head was perfectly preserved and almost unharmed”.
“Rome continues to bring back valuable testimonies of its past: a magnificent marble head was found while working in Piazza Augusto Imperatore. Archaeologists and restorers are busy cleaning and examining the finds,” he wrote.
The Capitol’s inspector, Claudio Parisi Presicce, believes the head found most likely belonged to a female deity, possibly the goddess Venus.
“The head lay facedown, protected by an earthen mound on which the foundation of the wall rested. “We’ve now handed it over to restorers for cleaning, and it will then go to archaeologists for proper identification and the first suggestion of dating, apparently referring to the Augustan period,” he said.
