But incredibly this carving of Elvis Presley was created around 1800 years before the King of Rock and Roll first warbled his first note.
The Roman Elvis is in fact a genuine marble acroterion - a kind of architectural ornament often found for decoration on the corners of a sarcophagus, a stone tomb or burial chamber."

Hunk a hunk a burnin' artifact.
I guess this means the King never died; he just found a time machine.
There might be a story in that.
That they had the foresight to title the work "Roman Elvis" is astounding to me.
Maybe Elvis lived a past life in Ancient Rome. :-)
