Construction workers came across an “exceptionally preserved” marble statue during a job in the city of Varna in Bulgaria.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Varna Regional Museum of History announced the find in a Facebook post on Oct. 15, 2024, which included photos of the discovery.<\/a><\/p>\n

The statue, slightly taller than a human, according to the post, was found in Varna, the ancient city Odessa,<\/a> and displayed a middle-aged man with a short beard, dressed in a Roman toga and holding a scroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An inscription on a pedestal read the name, G(ai) Marie Hermogen, according to the Varna Regional Museum of History.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The toga the man was clothed in was an indication that the individual had close ties to Roman authorities during his time, according to the Facebook post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The marble statue from the Roman era<\/a> had undergone very little damage, with just the right wrist missing, and slight damage to the face, the Varna Regional Museum of History reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The statue was found outside the fortress walls. Upon finding the ancient piece,<\/a> construction contractor Georgi Kraychev quickly reported the discovery to the museum, the Facebook post states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This past summer, archaeologists discovered another statue in Bulgaria. This one was discovered close to Bulgaria’s southeastern border with Greece.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The statue was discovered in July 2024. It was covered with dirt around 2,000 years ago, Fox News Digital previously reported. The statue of the ancient Greek god Hermes<\/a> is 7 feet tall.<\/p>\n

This particular find was discovered during excavation of an ancient Roman sewer in the city of Heraclea Sintica, Fox News Digital reported.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
