Bronze statues discovered in muddy ruins of an ancient spa

Restorers Maria Giuseppina Valeri and Laura Rivaroli hold the so-called Marcius Grabillo “scrawny boy” bronze, a full-body sculpture of a young Roman apparently suffering from bone disease, after it was discovered and pulled out from the muddy ruins of an ancient spa in San Casciano dei Bagni, a hilltop village in southern Tuscany still home to popular thermal baths, in Grosseto, Italy, May 29, 2023.
