News article: Sculptures discovered in Aptera, Crete



From the article:
"Two very well preserved statuettes depicting the Greek gods Artemis and Apollo have been discovered in the ancient city of Aptera, Crete. The sculptures, which date to the first or second century AD, would have been imported to Crete and used to decorate a shrine in a luxury Roman home, the Greek Culture Ministry announced."
