Goodwill purchase leads to return of stolen Roman artifact.

A Roman bust of Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, which was bought for $35 from a Goodwill thrift store in Austin, will be returned to Germany after it concludes its display run at the San Antonio Museum of Art. The centuries-old sculpture, which is reportedly modeled after Germanicus, will be returned to the Pompejanum Museum in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Art historians believe the bust of Germanicus may have been crafted between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D.
