In this undated image released by France's Culture Ministry Tuesday May 13, 2008, a life size marble bust of Julius Cesar is seen. The bust, probably dated 46 BC, was discovered last year after underwater searches in the Rhone River near Arles, southern France. (AP Photo/Culture Ministry, C. Chary/HO)

That's really, really cool.

If you're the folks who found this, how do you follow up that act?

researchers are trying to uncover "in what context these statues were thrown into the river,"

that was my first thought as well.

I am not convinced that this is a bust. Is it an undressed stone base or fracture lines from a more complete work?

I wonder if he ever imagined he would become world-renowned. It’s thrilling that an image of him is found 2,000 years later.
