Italian police recovered a stolen Roman statue after off-duty officers noticed it in a Belgian antique shop almost a decade after it was looted from an archeological site, according to authorities.
The headless marble statue of a "Togatus," from the 1st century BC, was stolen by unknown robbers about 10 years ago from Roman archeological site Villa Marini Dettina Park, according to Italy's Heritage Tutelage Carabinieri Unit.

Italian police opened an investigation into the artifact after becoming suspicious about its origins.

Summary: It is good to see that the looted statue will be returned to its rightful place.
