guy Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Quote Through continuous diplomatic efforts, Libya has retrieved a rare marble statue of the head of Faustina, the daughter of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and Roman Empress Faustina the Elder [and wife to Marcus Aurelius]. This comes 75 years after it was smuggled out of the country during the Second World War, and the statue dates back to the era of the Nerva- Antione dynasty. https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/2844451/libya-retrieves-statue-faustina-daughter-roman-emperor-antoninus-pius Summary: Obviously, this stature should be returned to its rightful owner and original historical home. Hopefully, it will be treasured and protected despite any political turmoil.
