Greco-Roman Museum

There are dozens of disembodied heads and busts in the museum, usually of the Ptolemies and Roman emperors. There is a huge headless porphyry (red stone) statue, which our guide told us was either a) a representation of Christ or b) Diocletian, who mean to exterminate the christians.
