Gaius Julius Caesar, originally uploaded by dawnmichele.

So dig this.

It's a picture of a bust my hero Julius Caesar that has just been found in the Arno river in France outside Arles, a town he founded. It is from 44 BC, 2 years before he was wrongfully and brutally murdered, which makes it the only bust in existence that was made while he was alive.
When previously known busts were carved, the style was to flatter and idealize the subject, but this bust is all about realism, wrinkly head and receding hair line and all.
Even with the broken nose, I just like staring at it.
Archaeologists say there's lots more where they found this. Who knows what they might find.
