Catch of the Year

A Greek fisherman received a lovely surprise on March 16, as he received a little more than the average fish in his net. Instead the man was given a 2200 year old statue which has a man on his horse, holding up his arm. In his arm was thought to once be a sword, which is gone. The sculpture is now being held and being cleaned of sea life by specialists.
