Bust of Julius Caesar and other Rhône findings on display
By Craig McGinty on Dec 9, 2009 in The arts.
LAST year a life size bust of Julius Caesar, thought to date back to 46 BC, was dragged out of the River Rhône near Arles.
It joins a collection of other items, including a six-foot high marble statue of Neptune, in an exhibition titled César à Arles, le Rhône pour mémoire.
The exhibition features finds from 20 years of exploration undertaken by divers and provides evidence that the area around Arles was extremely important during Roman times.
The Musée Départemental Arles Antique is hosting the exhibition which runs until September 2010
