Roman ruler's head found in sewer

The emperor is credited with helping to establish Christianity in Europe
A 1,700-year-old carved marble head of Emperor Constantine has been found in a sewer in central Rome.
Archaeologists found the 60cm (2ft) head while clearing an ancient drainage system in the ruins of the Roman Forum.

Eugenio La Rocca, superintendent of Rome's artefacts, described the head as a rare find and said it was possible it had been used to clear a blocked sewer.

1. I guess some people
Thought he was a shit head back then,too as alot already know he was today.
All emperors and wannabe kings are pieces of shit and need a good flushing down the toilet now and then by an angry populace to remind them they are not gods and should not trifle with the people they seek to exploit and dominate..
