An ancient marble statue believed to be around 2,000 years old has been discovered in Rome last week during repairs to the sewerage system on January 30. The marble statue appears to portray a male figure dressed as the mythological Roman hero Hercules. Archaeologists have so far judged the statue could date to the Imperial age, and hypotheses on the identity of the portrayed man have already been made.
