Sensational find in the Adriatic: Archaeologists discover ancient shipwrecks. Researchers have now excavated a Roman harbor off the coast of Slovenia.

Divers from the Institute for Underwater Archeology uncovered the centuries-old facility from 2017 to February of this year. Finds of masts and poles from antiquity are extremely rare, and interpretations are primarily tied to experimental archeology and visual historical sources such as reliefs, statues, drawings, paintings, depictions on coins and mosaics.
