Archaeologists in Israel uncover 1,700-year-old Roman-era statues buried face down

An archaeological excavation in Israel recently revealed ancient faces that haven't been seen in centuries.

Two statues were discovered near Binyamina, Israel, according to a June 15 press release from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

Archaeologists were digging ahead of construction of a coastal high-speed railway when they found two marble statues in the wine collection pit of a Roman-Byzantine winepress, the IAA said.
