The amazing likeness has come to light as part of a sale of ancient antiques by the auction house Bonhams
The Roman Elvis is in fact a genuine marble acroterion - a kind of architectural ornament often found for decoration on the corners of a sarcophagus, a stone tomb or burial chamber.
The 'Elvis’ sculpture is 2nd Century AD and is estimated to make £25,000 to £30,000.
Looking at this face with its Elvis-like quiff, strong jaw and nose, one is inevitably led to the thought that the human face for all is diversity and subtlety has after all an ability to repeat itself

I think you mean "coiffe". Quiff means something altogther different, and I'm hoping Elvis didn't have one...

So what's the big deal? Everyone must understand that Elvis had the power to travel in time

The quiff is a hairstyle that combines the 1950s pompadour hairstyle, the 50s flattop, and sometimes a mohawk. The hairstyle was a staple in the British 'Teddy Boy' movement, but became popular again in Europe in the early 1980s with early psychobilly acts including The Meteors, Demented Are Go, and others. For a while, DJ and TV presenter Mark Lamarr was a famous proponent of the quiff.
This is also straight from wikipedia.

So that's where the aliens took him - not only to Italy but back in time as well. At least that's cleared up that mystery then.
