Archaeologists near Bulgaria’s southeastern border with Greece uncovered a nearly 7-foot statue of the ancient Greek god Hermes during a dig this week. 

The unexpected find happened during excavation of an ancient Roman sewer in the abandoned city of Heraclea Sintica, which was founded by King Philip II of Macedon between 356 and 339 B.C.E. 

The sprawling city was devastated by an earthquake in 388 A.D.

"Its head is preserved. (It's in a) very good condition," lead archaeologist Lyudmil Vagalinski said, explaining that the marble statue had been placed in the sewer and covered with dirt, possibly as Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire and pagan symbols were banned.

He added that the statue was a Roman copy of an ancient Greek original.

"Everything pagan was forbidden, and they have joined the new ideology," Vagalinski said. 

He added, "but apparently they took care of their old deities."

Adria English alleged in the lawsuit she was "required" to take narcotics at Combs' white party when first employed by Combs in 2004. She claimed Combs "laced the liquor with ecstasy" and gave her strict instructions on which bottles to drink from.

English claimed she had been sex-trafficked between 2004 and 2009 by Combs, Tamika Thomas and Jacob Arabov, aka "Jacob the Jeweler." The petition is the 10th lawsuit filed against the music mogul since November.
