Roman sculpture of eagle devouring serpent unearthed in London | Mail Online:
The 1,900-year-old sculpture was found in the City of London by Museum of London Archaeology experts before a site's redevelopment into a hotel
It is thought to symbolise good triumphing over evil and archaeologists believe it was the centerpiece of a Roman mausoleum
Reverend Professor Martin Henig, an expert in the field, said that the object is 'the finest sculpture by a Romano-British artist ever found in London'
