That heady feeling of reunification!
A headless statue of Roman emperor Septimius Severus is set to be reunited with its head after being separated for centuries. The statue's body was returned to Turkey last year from MoMA, New York, while the head resided in a Copenhagen museum.

We're glad, really, that SS' body and head are reuniting. But it has also made us ask how we can get other decapitated legends capitated as is their right. Most obviously, there's the 2nd c. statue of Kushan king Kanishka at the Museum of Mathura, which not only has its head missing but also its arms. As anyone who has enjoyed Amar Kaushik's 2024 horror comedy film, Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank, you will know how special reuniting a head with its body is for peace of mind.
