Julius Caesar
The terrace around the main pool in the Roman Baths has statues of some of the emperors and governors. They're not Roman; they were added by the Victorians before the grand opening of the complex in 1897.
This statue of Julius Caasar is even more recent; the original Victorian statue was pushed into the pool by vandals in the late 1980's. It made me laugh because it looks so much like Ciaran Hinds, who played Caesar in the HBO series Rome.
