Head of goddess Aphrodite statue unearthed in Turkey

[icymist]

A group of archaeologists has discovered a life-sized marble head of Aphrodite while uncovering an ancient pool-side mosaic in southern Turkey.

Buried under soil for hundreds of years, the goddess of love and beauty has some chipping on her nose and face. Researchers think her presence could shed light on the extent of the Roman Empire's wide cultural influence at the time of its peak.

3. I'd love to know why they think it's Aphrodite and not another goddess nt
