Roman head of Mercury discovered during dig

Archaeologists working on a dig site in Rome have uncovered a stunning Roman head of the god Mercury.

The discovery, which was made by a team of experts from the University of Rome, is believed to date back to the 2nd century AD.

Mercury, known as the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, was typically depicted wearing a winged helmet and holding a caduceus, a symbol of commerce and trade.

The head is remarkably well-preserved, with intricate details and fine craftsmanship. It is expected to be put on display at the university’s museum once it has been properly cleaned and restored.

This find sheds new light on the religious practices and beliefs of the ancient Romans, and opens up new avenues for research into the culture and society of the time.
