Cyprus first found a wreck wrecked in Roman times

The Cyprus Antiquities Ministry has for the first time found an intact Roman ship wreck of ancient artifacts in the southern waters of the country, thereby opening up the opportunity to clarify the trading history between Cyprus and neighborhoods in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Cyprus Collections of June 27 shows the location of a shipwreck located in the southeastern coast of Cyprus, near the resort known to Protaras.

Divers have found many narrow antique vessels with two straps, most likely originating from Syria and Cilicia on this shipwreck. In ancient times, these jars were often used to contain liquids like oil and alcohol.

Shipwreck salvage work will take place as soon as possible. Currently, a group of experts is completing research materials and protecting this archaeological site.

In the last few years, Cyprus has proven to be a place of rich archaeological value.

A wreck of ancient Greece was also found here. The ship sank in the southern waters of Cyprus around the middle of the fourth century BC.

In December last year, archaeologists conducted salvage, thereby understanding the progress in ancient shipbuilding techniques in the Mediterranean.
