A Greek fisherman brought up a 2,200 year old catch in the Aegean Sea last week, and it was not an ancient fish. The fisherman caught an old bronze statue of a horseman. Today, a Cultural Ministry announcement says the accidental find was made in waters between the eastern islands of Kos and Kalymnos.
The fisherman gave away the statue and the cleaning process has revealed that it is from the late 2nd century B.C. and represented a male riding a horse wearing ornate breast armor over a short tunic and armed with a sword.
