An interesting find in the Cotswolds, an area about 85 miles west of London.

A 2,000-year-old Cupid figurine has been unearthed along the route of a new bypass in the Cotswolds.

The artwork was dug up in November near the new A417 Missing Link route being built between Gloucester and Swindon.

"It is a rare and exciting find. It will tell us about the lives and beliefs of the small Roman community that lived alongside this road," said Melanie Barge from Historic England.

Summary: Interesting find. Doesn't look like a modern Cupid to me, but it is an interesting find, nevertheless.
