I am not sure how to lift the picture on YAHOO or in the news of the bust of Caesar that was found ..but if you see it...I think he eerily looks like show host MARK DECARLO?

I would love to get a miniature gold-plated bust of Caesar (about 5-6 inches tall) and have it mounted on the front of my Crown Vic as a hood ornament, just to be an a**hole. ;D

Well, I don't know who Mark DeCarlo is but it's Caesar. I would never have guessed...
At first I was wondering why this find was significant as people are always finding artifacts, statuary, military equipment in bodies of water much of it ends-up there in the form of votive offerings to their various deities...
I see why this made the news - Roman emperors (Caesar wasn't an emperor, btw) were in the habit of portraying themselves only as young, virulent and handsome to the corners of their domain so the provincials would only see them as such. Immortal. Divine. Ageless. They preferred the "ageless look" to the reality of age, disease, and the wear of time. It's known that Caesar was sensitive of his premature balding and primped and fussed over his appearance...
So Caesar, in this bust, looks older than in other images of him I've seen, complete with pronounced laugh/frown lines and crow's feet...
