Italian divers have discovered a 2,100-year-old Roman-era shipwreck off the coast of Sicily, near Mazara del Vallo. The site contains hundreds of well-preserved clay jars, known as amphorae, which were used to transport ancient wine.
The discovery was made by an underwater fisherman, who described the experience as the most incredible of his life. The ship was found still full of these vessels on the seabed.
Culture Minister Giuli has hailed the find as extraordinary, describing it as one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries in years.
