A decapitated man buried near a Roman fort in Scotland has been given a new virtual face by researchers. This was first reported by Live Science on October 29, 2026, citing a reconstruction of the man's face using 3D modeling. The man's remains were found in a grave without his head nearly 2,000 years ago.

The National Museum of Scotland will display the reconstructed face. The Daily Galaxy, Gizmodo, and Aurora News also reported on the reconstruction on the same day, with The Daily Galaxy providing more details on the Roman fort where the man was buried. Coverage does not yet specify any potential controversy or backlash surrounding the reconstruction, but the story has sparked interest in the field of archaeology and 3D modeling.
