[01] Roman-era busts unearthed
A Roman-era marble bust of Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC - 322
BC), was unearthed during recent archaeological excavations at the foot
of the Acropolis in Athens. The 46-centimetre (18-inch) bust, an
excellently preserved likeness of the 4th century philosopher, was
unearthed together with the busts of Roman emperor Hadrian (31
centimetres) and of a priest, possibly, of the Theatre of Dionysus (34
centimetres).
Aristotle's bust is considered to be the best of all existing ancient
ones.
