Considering the situation, he probably had a merciful death.
Beheaded by flying rock

He was between a rock and a hard place?

Interesting science fact - rocks actually cannot fly so it was probably just a falling rock.

I was there last year. Less than half of the ruins are unearthed . Our guide said they were seeking funding to continue to excavate. It appears they have. Very cool place to visit.

Nature vs nurture, Lodge. Nature always wins.

You should take that up with Nick Squires at The Telegraph. He wrote the article.

This guy was trying to behead himself as well...

It looks like it got him right in the face. He'd have probably had better luck running the other way.

Dude died horrifically and you make a joke about. Really unnecessary

Too soon? He probably never knew what hit him.

I wonder what he would think about today's hard rock music.

I was there a couple years ago also. I was told they will not excavate to much more. They are leaving alot still unearthed to keep it preserved for future Generations.

He actually probably died instantly, so I wouldn't really say it was horrific for him personally.

Well, we know he got his rocks off.

How do they know he was a Roman?
Maybe he was from India, just visiting relatives?

Was he a giant? Because that little crater he's in looks like what happens when a giant falls in cartoons.
