An ancient Roman cargo ship carrying hundreds of jars has been found at the bottom of the Mediterranean sea. The vessel, estimated to be more than 20 metres long, dates from the first or second century BC. It is unclear what the amphorae, a type of Roman jar, were used for. The discovery was made by archaeologists from Italy’s cultural heritage protection police squad and scuba divers from the national superintendency for underwater cultural heritage, an institution that protects and regulates underwater heritage sites
