Giant statue of Hadrian unearthed
« on: August 10, 2007, 15:35:58 PM »
Interesting article from the BBC news.

Parts of a huge, exquisitely carved statue of the Roman Emperor Hadrian have been found at an archaeological site in south-central Turkey.

The original statue would have stood 4m-5m in height, experts estimate.

His achievements include the massive wall built across the width of northern Britain which bears his name.
