The Bosham Roman Head was likely once part of a colossal statue at Chichester Harbour.
Once thought to be of Vespasian, a 2013 study suggested the fragment depicted the deified Trajan and may have been erected by Hadrian (Russell & Manley 2015).

📍 Gleiche Endung, andere Herkunft: Orte auf -by finden sich vor allem in Schleswig-Holstein und an der Elbe. Doch während -by im Norden meist aus dem Dänischen stammt und „Dorf“ bedeutet, geht es an der Elbe auf das altsächsische „bogi“ für „Biegung“ zurück. #MapMonday
ALT Deutschlandkarte auf dunkelgrauem Hintergrund. Oben steht die Überschrift „Ortsnamen, die auf -by enden“. Die Deutschlandkarte ist hellblau dargestellt, die Grenzen der Bundesländer sind als dünne graue Linien eingezeichnet. Kleine blaue Punkte markieren Orte mit der Endung „-by“. Sie konzentrieren sich vor allem im Norden Schleswig-Holsteins. Vier weitere Punkte befinden sich im Bereich der Elbe in Sachsen-Anhalt. Unten rechts ist das weiße BKG-Logo zu sehen.
