A marble statue believed to be more than 2,000 years old has been found in a garbage bag near the city of Thessaloniki in Greece; experts say the piece dates back to the Hellenistic era.
Police said experts, following an initial evaluation, determined the piece dates to the Hellenistic era, a period roughly between 320 and 30 B.C. that was marked by a flourishing of art and culture following the conquests of Alexander the Great.
The statue was sent for further examination by archaeologists. It will ultimately be handed over to the local antiquities authority for preservation and study.
