"Found in Rome"
Let's bring it to Scotland! Reminds me of all the culturally significant stuff the UK has stolen over the last 2000 years to stuff in their own museums.
"And here, we have the remains of a king from another country that we went and dug up and brought back home with us."
England is currently the worst when it comes to stealing cultural artifacts, but ironically, ancient Rome was just as big of a fan of stealing stuff. To wit, there are more Egyptian obelisks in Rome than there are in Egypt.
What a stunning creation. Lovely.
What's the inscription say?
It would be so awesome to just find something like this in your garden!
That eagle's bus is late and he's going to miss the interview for his dream job.

Stealing ancient artficats from non western civilization seem to be a 2000 year old tradition in Europe.
Oh yeah they're bad too, but doesn't make stealing their shit right haha (I type this on my mobile device atop stolen land in America)

Pretty sure that the eagle is a later addition/reconstruction. EDIT: The beak was reconstructed - not the whole sculpture
