A rare Roman-era bronze bust of Emperor Caligula, missing for nearly 200 years, has been rediscovered by a curator in England after being unearthed in Herculaneum in the 18th century. The 5-inch-tall artifact showcases Caligula's distinctive features and madness, with only a few similar busts known to exist.
