Underwater archaeologists in Italy have discovered the wrecks of five
ancient Roman ships in the Mediterranean, with their cargo still largely
intact.
The ships are lying in up to 150 metres (500 feet) of water off the tiny
island of Ventotene, between Rome and Naples.
They are between 1,600 and 1,900 years old, and were laden with - among
other things - jars for carrying wine, olive oil and fish sauce.
