I think marble is pretty soft. You can scrape and polish after you chisel.
The life expectency then was around 50. So he was about middle-aged.
Actually, if you survived birth and early childhood your life expectancy was about the same as today.
In 2016, Gazzaniga published her research on more than 2,000 ancient Roman skeletons, all working-class people who were buried in common graves. The average age of death was 30, and that wasn’t a mere statistical quirk: a high number of the skeletons were around that age. Many showed the effects of trauma from hard labour, as well as diseases we would associate with later ages, like arthritis.

Yeah it's clear that modern medicine has saved countless of lives and took a wrong turn maybe roughly about 50 years ago or so? If you had a sepsis and your body couldn't contain it you were fucked quickly before the age of penicillin
Sometimes all it took was cracking a tooth on a piece of bread that had a small little piece of stone from the quern in it... it got infected

Sadly, as late as the early 1900's it killed three of the most promising jazz musicians of their day. In the early 1920's, Lorin McMurray (1895-1922), one of the greatest saxophone players of the era, developed a nasal infection that spread to his brain and killed him in two weeks. I have both of his Gennett recordings, one made just a week before he died. Carlton Coon (1895-1932), half of the Coon-Sanders orchestra so popular with the college crowd and noted for his beautiful voice in duets with Joe Sanders, had a dental abscess that gave him much pain, but he enjoyed listening to the other bands after hours he numbed it with alcohol until it spread and killed him. Bing Crosby encouraged his jazz guitarist friend Eddie Lang (1903-1933) to have a tonsillectomy that should improve his singing voice. Instead it was botched and he died of blood poisoning. Bing never forgave himself for his advice.
It wasn't uncommon to see people in the last century into modern times

Here's Coon's first record from the last session in 1932:

Another secret is that early 20th Century slum clearing and sanitation did more against most diseases we vaccinate for than the vaxes did themselves. 80% of the drop in things like Measles occured during the massive sewer and indoor plumbing campaigns, before those vaccines were invented.
This doesn't bode well for San Francisco and other progressive-run cities.

Yes, but notice the buxom ones have the figure emphasized and displayed.

The recent rain storm has washed all the shit into the bay.
A school principal in Tallahassee, Florida, has been fired following parental complaints about a lesson on Michelangelo’s marble masterpiece David (1501-04), which was deemed “pornographic” by one aggrieved parent.
