I couldn't find an English version of this so I translated the important bits:
Denizli - The head from a statue of the man who ended the Roman Republic and became the first Emperor, Augustus Caeasar, was unearthed during during an excavation at the ancient town of Laodikya, near Eskihisar. The leader of the excavation, Prof. Celal Simsek, said that the head, which belongs to a statue of Augustus, the greatest and most powerful Roman Emperor, is so far the best preserved and most valuable one of its kind... The 250 workers operating at the site have begun to look for the statue's body at 6 different locations... The head was found while excavating a "toilet structure" [I have no idea how to sugercoat "tuvalet yapisi". lol They found the head in a toilet]...
The rest of the text is basically the same - about how awesome the craftsmanship that went into the statue was and how the statue is really valuable.
