It looks more like the man 'who's name we do not speak' rather than Julius Caesar.

Did you hear about the archaeologists that uncovered an unknown ancient Roman statue's head or bust?
No? Of course not unless it was just a minor tidbit in a longer article or documentary.

But find statue head and say it was Julius Caesar's and not only that but was also done from a 'live sitting'*** and you have instant Fame!

And Fame gets you Worldwide PR and Worldwide PR gets you funding and a museum gets a World famous piece for its collection.

And for proof, well you just kind of make it up as you go along.

On some history/archaeology blogs most seem to believe that they are just grasping at straws to make this fit their agenda.
Regards, Walter

***I believe there is only 1 considered 'live sitting' head sculpture of Caesar and even that one is very iffy.
