An ancient statue depicting the Greek god Hermes was uncovered by archaeologists inside an around 2,000-year-old Roman sewer in Bulgaria.
The sprawling city was devastated by an earthquake in 388 A.D.
"Its head is preserved. (It's in a) very good condition," lead archaeologist Lyudmil Vagalinski said, explaining that the marble statue had been placed in the sewer and covered with dirt, possibly as Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire and pagan symbols were banned.
