Unique Roman emperor statue revealed in Denizli

Archaeologists in the ancient city of Laodicea in the western province of Denizli have unearthed a grandiose statue of Trajan, one of the greatest Roman emperors, dating back to 113 A.D.
The statue is likely to be reputed as one of the most unique of its kind in terms of its size and intricacy. The three-meter-high sculpture was unearthed in 356 pieces, all of which were stuck together. Next to the emperor and standing on the same patio is another statue, much smaller in size, depicting an enemy soldier with hands tied behind the back.
