For those unfamiliar with the work that @RPMNautical does, they are engaged in the underwater excavation of the battlesite of the naval Battle of the Aegates Islands (241 BC), the decisive final engagement of the First Punic War between Rome and Carthage.
Their excellent work off of the Egadi (=Aegates) islands have uncovered now 23 warship rams, along with a wealth of other artifacts. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is absolutely one of the most important Roman/Carthaginian archaeological projects currently underway.
Oh and attention to precise helmet weights in some of their experiments to determine currents. Be still my heart! (and yes, they get the helmet weights absolutely right, correctly using the heavier mid-third century Montefortino types, rather than the lighter subsequent types).
This sounds really exciting! I will check them out
I wonder if in 2000 years from now people will be watching hololectures like this about aircraft carriers and planes found in the Pacific!
You can do that now! The wrecks of IJN Kaga and Akagi have both been found, for instance (sunk at the Battle of Midway).
It’s been a very great talk! Such an interesting sote
Fascinating work, I look forward to seeing their conclusions. Any idea of what types of ships those rams belonged to?
