From London Independent.
A Roman eagle sculpture, around 1800 years old, has been dug up near Aldgate and is on display at the Museum of London. In excess of two feet tall, an amazing piece, quite possibly from some big shot’s tomb.
Worth a visit; that museum is a great place.

Wow, what a spectacular find. I hadn’t heard anything about this, so thanks for the heads up!
I am hopeful that there will be more great stuff dug up as they continue with the London Crossrail project. This is the kind of news that really excites me!
Very interesting story!
