Archaeologists in Amastris, Türkiye, unearthed a 1,800 year old marble statue of Aphrodite during excavations at a Roman gymnasium site. Found nearly four meters underground, the sculpture has a distinctive Herakles knot hairstyle and is missing only its right hand and part of its nose.

The statue was placed on public display at the Amasra Museum
