@thisisancient: They Found a Hidden Statue of Venus in a Roman Villa In 2018, archaeologists made a remarkable discovery at a Roman villa in Granada, Spain—an ancient marble statue of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The statue, over 2,000 years old, was found carefully placed face down beneath the ground, possibly hidden intentionally during a time of crisis or abandonment. Discoveries like this are extremely rare, as complete Roman statues are seldom found in such preserved condition. The site, known as Villa Salar, offers valuable insight into Roman life, art, and culture in ancient Hispania. This extraordinary find reveals how the Romans honored their gods—and how history can remain hidden for centuries before being uncovered again.
