A marble head of the Emperor Augustus has been found at a large and well-appointed Roman villa just discovered outside the capital .
The head, practically a bas-relief, shows the emperor in profile in his middle years .
It will shortly be taken to the newly refurbished Roman Antiquities Museum at Palazzo Massimo near Termini Station to be shown to the public .
