This is an incredible ancient Roman restoration!
Grand porphyry bathtub of Emperor Nero (54-68 AD), from his Domus Aurea palace in Rome. The tub is roughly 7.63 m (25 ft) in radius and weighs thousands of pounds. Perched on large stone legs, it looks like a colossal birdbath. The mosaic it stands on has scenes of Neptune.
