Emperor Constantine's hand reunited with finger after more than 500 years apart

A missing index finger from a giant statue of the Roman Emperor Constantine has been reunited with the hand it came from after over 500 years. The fragment finally arrived at Rome's Capitoline Museum from the Louvre in Paris. It had been revealed as a missing part of Constantine's hand in 2018 when a 3D model was brought to Rome and proved to be a perfect fit. It had at one time been catalogued as a toe. With the arrival of the actual bronze, finger experts examined it carefully to check it hadn't suffered further damage.

Remembering Ian Jenkins, a scholar and British Museum curator who enriched all who met him with his passion for classical Greece

It was Ian Jenkins’s mother, Lena, who suggested he should apply for the post of a junior research assistant in the department of Greek and Roman antiquities at the British Museum. On his appointment in 1978, he arrived at the grand portals in Bloomsbury, central London, in his Wiltshire boots, the tools of his recent experience as an apprentice stonemason slung in his belt, only to discover that the job was rather more academic than anticipated. He began as he intended to go on, turning tasks that others considered humdrum into gold mines of academic and public interest. Nimbly sidestepping internal conflicts and rivalries, he built collegiate teams within the department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the department of prints and drawings, the British Museum Education Service, the Joint Association of Classical Teachers, the Hellenic Society and far beyond.

The house created a stir when it was designed in 1929 by Amyas Connell. As a student, in 1926 he won a prestigious architecture award for a residency at the British School in Rome. The director at the time was the distinguished archaeologist Bernard Ashmole. He gave Connell his first commission; to build a Modernist Roman Villa on a hilltop overlooking the Misbourne valley.
