Part of an anchor and a clay
amphora from the Roman imperial period were recovered on
Thursday off the coast of La Maddalena, an island off the
north-eastern coast of Sardinia.
The archaeological findings - including a two-meter-long
lead anchor and an amphora neck - are believed to have been part
of a Roman merchant ship travelling from the Spanish peninsula.
They were reportedly recovered at a depth of 30 meters by
scuba divers from the cultural superintendency in the Sardinian
cities of Sassari and Cagliari and from the local Carabinieri
police unit responsible for the preservation of cultural
heritage.
