'I had a real shock as the digger bucket rolled over what I thought was a big stone to reveal a face,' worker Greg Crawley said of finding a Roman marble head.
An ancient Roman statue of a 'beautiful lady'—thought to be around 1,800 years old—has been uncovered in the grounds of a huge country house in England.The marble head of the statue was unearthed in April 2023 by a digger driver during the construction of a parking lot at Burghley House, a 16th century mansion located in the county of Lincolnshire,Two weeks later, a marble bust from the same statue came to light, the Burghley House Preservation Trust announced in a press release.
'I believe that it was bought in Italy by the 9th Earl during one of his two Grand Tours,' Culverhouse said.Brownlow Cecil, the 9th Earl of Exeter , was a British peer and Member of Parliament who took ownership of the house for a period in the 18th century. During his tours to Italy, he purchased many antiquities, including, the newly uncovered statue, according to Culverhouse.How the head and bust ended up buried in the location where they were found remains a complete mystery though.
