2,200-year old battering ram from epic battle between Rome and Carthage found in Mediterranean

A Roman battering ram found at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea was used during an epic battle that unfolded more than 2,200 years ago.

Researchers used a deepwater submarine to recover the large bronze piece at a depth of 260 feet (80 meters) off the coast of Sicily’s Aegadian Islands. The ram was once attached to an ancient warship, according to a translated Facebook post by the Sicily Superintendence of the Sea, part of the region’s Department of Cultural Heritage, which announced the find.
