In the eighth century, Justinian II was overthrown from his position as ruler of the Byzantine Empire. The young ruler's nose was amputated, and he was exiled. Ten years later, he regained the throne in a bloody coup. For decades, researchers have debated if Justinian also regained his nose through the ancient Indian rhinoplasty surgical technique, largely based on the Carmagnola statue in modern Venice. While a fascinating possibility, we ultimately conclude that it is highly unlikely that this ever occurred.
公元8世纪，查士丁尼二世被赶下了拜占庭帝国统治者的宝座。这位年轻统治者的鼻子被割掉，随后遭到流放。十年后，他通过一场血腥政变重新登上王位。几十年来，研究人员一直在争论查士丁尼是否也通过古印度隆鼻手术技术恢复了他的鼻子，这主要是基于现代威尼斯的卡尔马尼奥拉雕像。虽然这是一个引人入胜的可能性，但我们最终得出结论，这种情况极不可能发生。
