Marcus Aurelius’ Spooky Marble Foot Found In Southern Turkey
At an archaeological site in Sagalassos, Southern Turkey, researchers unearthed the remarkable monument. In August 2008, a massive pair of marble lower legs fractured just above the knee was discovered in the wreckage. The sheer magnitude of it is astonishing, and as of 2022, archeologists are disassembling further components of the Roman Emperor.
The mosaic-covered figure of Aurelius was found in one of the Roman restrooms after it had been discovered. Specialists think that it functioned as a frigidarium, which is a chamber that contains a chilly pool. Unfortunately, an earthquake occurred somewhere between the years 540 and 620 AD, causing it to suffer considerable damage.
