The Manhattan, that's New York, not Kansas, District Attorney's Office has so little to occupy their work days that they're able to traipse all over the country scouring for stolen art from centuries ago. If these guys can recover ancient art maybe they should get to work recovering some of the 10,632 cars stolen in New York City so far in 2023. This time the deputies of Alvin Bragg have discovered a bust that could be almost any lady in history but is thought to be the daughter of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius or perhaps the offspring of Septimus Severus, the emperor that spurred along the fall of the empire by diluting the precious metal content of Roman coinage. Surely this significant art work is an image of some truly important person, not just a Roman Meghan Markle.

Taken from the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, it isn't presently known who will become the new owner or where exactly it has been since its disappearance and subsequent discovery. But it looks pretty old and there's no bill of sale so it must be stolen. If the Roman people are now the owners of this bust, then who are they? No such group currently exists. Of course the statue will be given to the people living under the Italian state or rather to the Italian state itself. No Italians will be allowed to place it in their foyer or dining room for a short period of time along with others. So rather than belong to a museum, the mystery girl will belong to no one, except the government.
We can all be assured that if one of our own artworks is stolen in a burglary the efforts to track it down will involve any possible effort.
