BBC News reports that Belgian archaeologists have discovered the parts of a statue of Hadrian at Sagalassos, in Pisidia in S.E. Turkey. The report has a link to 5 pictures of the fragments. Portions of another huge statue may be that of Sabina, his wife. The two statues were about 12-15 foot high, and stood in a bath-house, which was ruined in an earthquake ca. 700 AD.
National Geographic have another picture. A site with details of the excavation programme at Sagalassos is here; see also http://www.sagalassos.be/.
