Archaeology experts from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) unearthed the marble statue at an excavation in Caesarea Harbor National Park. The site sits atop of an ancient city once known as Caesarea Maritima or Caesarea Palestinae, southeast of Nazareth and on the Israeli coast. The ram was exposed near the ruins of a Byzantine-era church and is most likely a representation of Christ or Christ s followers.
