guy Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 A small but interesting find while during excavation for a new hotel in Zadar, Croatia. “A statue of the Roman goddess Venus was found on the construction site of a future hotel in the center of Zadar, about a meter high, preserved from the knees to below the chest, made of marble, and about 1800 years old.” ”"Academician Nenad Cambi, our greatest expert on antiquity, believes that it is most likely a statue of the goddess Venus. Its full height was about two meters, and it was probably on a pedestal in the atrium of this ancient urban villa where we are now," said Smiljan Gluščević.” https://www.total-croatia-news.com/lifestyle/59345-venus-statue-in-zadar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
