NOTE: This is actually a giant stone head from a statue of the Roman Emperor Marcus Julius Philippus–a.k.a., Philip the Arab–who ruled in the mid 200s. The head dates from his time and was recently (this October) found in a shipwreck off Corsica. Philip had a policy of toleration toward Christians and was said by some (including Eusebius) to have been the first Christian emperor (perhaps secretly? SEE HERE FOR MORE INFO).

Still, that’s no reason we can’t make fun of this picture!
