Busts

Three roman busts were found in the roman remains up the road just outside Llerena.

This is a clip from the paper:-

The busts date from the first and second centuries and one of Trajan is of particular interest.

A summer camp organised for youngsters by the Junta de Extremadura has resulted in the discovery of three Roman busts dating from the first and second centuries, and of considerable value. One of the busts, of Trajan, is said to be particularly valuable as it is one of the few items to link him to Hispania.

The 15 students were working at the site of the old Roman city, Regina Turdulorum, at Casas de Reina in Badajoz and they found the three busts inside a well.

The busts have now been taken to the Provincial Archaeology Museum in Badajoz.
