A nine-foot statue of Hercules sank beneath the waves near the Greek island of Antikythera in the first century BC.

The headless ancient Roman sculpture was found in 1900 near the Greek island of Antikythera. It  was thought to be intended for a wealthy Roman and sank during the first century of BC. It is thought the head has now been found.
