Ancient Shipwrecks Found Off Italy's Coast

A team of marine archeologists has discovered new underwater treasures in the Italian seas.
Trading vessels dating from the first century BC through 7th century AD were found in the waters off the Pontine Islands.
Italian culture authorities and the Aurora Trust, a U.S. foundation which promotes underwater exploration in the Mediterranean, discovered four shipwrecks resting on the seabed.
After the discovery, the team used sonar scanners for the exploration and filmed the targets lying on the seabed.
The remains of the ships, up to 18 meters long, were found and documented at a depth of between 100-150 meters.
Annalisa Zarattini, an underwater archaeologist with Italy's culture ministry, says the deeper a wreck is found, the higher the chance that it is better preserved.
The ships were in good condition after so many centuries because they have not been disturbed by fishermen or illegal archaeology hunters.
Discribing her latest find, Zarattini said "We identified four Roman wrecks, four ships that probably sunk during a storm at different time periods."
In Roman times, the Pontine islands belonged to Emperor Augustus.
The ships cargoes were found completely intact.
The vessels carried goods from North Africa and Spain.
They included wine, olive oil, fruit and garum, a pungent fish sauce used in Roman cooking.
One of the concerns archaeologists have is that these treasures may be illegally lifted from where they have been found.
