1 day agoRoman amphora with sardines found in Switzerland
Sardines were consumed in Roman Switzerland, evidenced by sardine bones found inside a Roman amphora at Gebenstorf.
A remarkably preserved Roman merchant ship from the late Roman Empire resting just about six feet (two meters) beneath the crystal blue waters off the coast of the island of Mallorca, near the Iberian Peninsula, is set to be recovered and raised starting in 2026. The Ses Fontanelles shipwreck, dating back to the mid-4th century CE, has provided researchers with a detailed look at a time when Christianity was becoming more predominant across the Mediterranean.
