A unique statue from the Roman period of Odessos, preliminarily dated to the late 2nd to the first half of the 3rd century, has been discovered during excavation works near the train station in Varna, said archaeologists from the Varna Regional Museum of History. The statue was found in an area with sand deposits, outside the fortress walls of the ancient city. Property developer Georgi Kraychev immediately informed the museum about the find.
The statue is fully preserved, with only the right wrist missing. It has a slight damage to the face. Restoration is planned before it is displayed in an exhibition. The marble sculpture depicts a middle-aged man with a short beard, dressed in a toga and holding a scroll. There is a well-preserved inscription on the front of the pedestal. According to preliminary reading, the name of the depicted figure is Gaius Marius Hermogenes, Archaeologia Bulgarica announced on Facebook.
