In 2012, divers discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman shipwreck that was so well preserved even the food was intact in its storage jars.
Roman ships were commonly named after gods, mythological heroes or concepts such as harmony, peace and victory. Researchers believe the mud on the seabed protected the wreck.
The ship, a navis oneraria, or merchant vessel, was located at a depth of about 200 feet after a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was used to scour the seabed.
