Bring me the head of Marcus Aurelius!

rogueclassicism points out that a perfectly preserved head of Marcus Aurelius has been found by archaeologists near Petra in Jordan. The head probably fell off a statue during an earthquake and was buried.

The ways of the gods are full of providence.
Meditations. ii. 3.
