"Among other things, researchers are trying to uncover "in what context these statues were thrown into the river," said Michel L'Hour, who heads the Department of Subaquatic Archaeological Research, whose divers made the discovery between September and October 2007. "
This is easy. The statues were probably used as ballast from a ship that went down in the area.

Previous full size statues of Caesar exist, so they have a fairly good idea it was him.....only older.......

they dont say how they know its caesarThat's what I noticed. All we can say from this article is that a Roman bust was found that may date to 46 B.C. Even if it is supposed to be of Caesar, it does not necessarily look like him any more than any other bust. I would like to know what makes them think it is of Caesar.

Hmm, there IS a resemblance. No doubt Caesar is responsible for the global warming that caused the river to change course and bury his bust...

Did the divers collectively cry out, "Great! Ceasars bust!" ??
To: Red Badger
I noticed that too. How can you even call it a bust without the bust part?
To: Cletus.D.Yokel
Well, it is busted........

This is definitely an ancestor of Tom Brokaw from the family resemblance.
