Caesar, sunk by Gauls, surfaces

Oldest known bust of Caesar found
Divers in France have found the oldest known bust of Roman dictator Julius Caesar at the bottom of the River Rhone, officials have said.


Comment from Gift Hub, an experiment in the critical discourses surrounding philanthropy:
Caesar conquered Arles. A bust in his honor was erected. Two years later he is assassinated in Rome. His bust is thrown in the river since being a follower of the assassinated dictator would have been dangerous. Now divers find the stone head.

Today, we know that big funders are "hyper-agents," who, like great generals, found the worlds in which others live.
