ARE YOU ROMAN TONIGHT?

best : fanbase :
[+] serious ballot by UncleRandy

With his dashing chiseled features, swept back hair and perky bouffant the resemblance is unmistakable. But incredibly this carving of Elvis Presley was created around 1800 years before the King of Rock and Roll first warbled his first note. The amazing likeness has come to light as part of a sale of ancient antiques by the auction house Bonhams.

It's part of a collection owned by Melbourne-based Graham Geddes - one of the world's most foremost collectors - which is estimated to sell for more than £1m when it goes on sale in October.

Even the Geddes himself has nicknamed the astounding lookalike ‘Elvis’.

Antiquities specialist Georgiana Aitken added: 'It bears an uncanny likeness to Elvis Presley. It's the quiff that does it.

You do some weird and wacky things at the corners of sarcophagi.

'I don't know what purpose they served and the quiff was not a hairstyle of the day as far as I know.'

Alright all you Elvis Fans...

How much are you Bidding?

The king was reincarnated? Wow!
It must be a fake somehow.
Elvis resembles the sculpture. Not the other way around... Right?
What? ...another impersonator. There's only one Elvis!
The King is immortal!

COMMENTS:
The Roman Elvis is in fact a genuine marble acroterion - a kind of architectural ornament often found for decoration on the corners of a sarcophagus, a stone tomb or burial chamber.


The real thing - Elvis in concert in 1968

Voted : The King is immortal!
He's usually better about covering up his past, though.
Voted : Elvis resembles the sculpture. Not the other way around... Right?
Elvis has always been admired because his facial structure very much resembled that of classical sculpture.
