Roman shipwreck carrying 500 amphorae found off Sicily
A 2,100-year-old Roman shipwreck has been found 3 miles off Mazara del Vallo, Sicily, at a depth of about 46 metres. The vessel was carrying approximately 500 amphorae — ancient ceramic jars used mainly to transport wine. Italy's Carabinieri cultural heritage police investigated the site using divers and underwater cameras after a tip-off from local fishermen. Experts have hailed it as one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries in recent years.
