Découverte archéologique, via Connaissance des arts :
"En fouillant les entrailles de la Ville éternelle, des archéologues italiens ont eu la surprise de découvrir une tête colossale antique en marbre. Cette statue se trouvait enfouie à plusieurs mètres de profondeur, près du forum de Trajan. Pourrait-il s’agir d’une représentation du célèbre empereur romain ?"

The Trajan column text inscription size changes the higher up the surface. A trick for the eye from below.
I never would’ve noticed.
