Prow of Roman warship made of bronze
An extraordinary ancient artifact has been discovered off the coast of Sicily, near the Aegadian Islands: the bronze prow of a Roman warship, known as a rostrum. This rare find directly links us to the naval battle off the Aegadian Islands (241 BCE), which marked the end of the First Punic War (264-241 BCE). Such relics offer a glimpse into ancient naval warfare and the might of the fleets of the time.
