A marble torso of a Roman emperor from the Julio-Claudian dynasty was sold in New York for $34.3 million, or about €30.5 million. Sotheby’s said the auction lasted 14 minutes and was heated, making it a record sale for the piece.

Sotheby’s is also due to auction a rare skeleton of a newly identified dinosaur species in New York on Tuesday. The specimen, nicknamed “Jodi”, is expected to fetch between $6 million and $9 million, or about €5.5 million to €8.3 million.
