The "relitto delle monete" Roman vessel
The
ancient ship known as the "relitto delle monete"
was a Roman trade vessel sunk
near the southern extremity of Camarina bay during 275 A.D. . L'
antica nave nota come il "relitto delle monete" era una
nave commerciale Romana, affondata all'estremità meridionale della baia
di Camarina nel 275 A.C. The coins were known as antoniani (right), made in a poor bronze league, and were issued during the reigns of six Emperors, from 253 to 273 A.D. Le monete erano degli antoniani (a destra) fuse in una lega di bronzo povero, e furono coniate durante i regni di sei Imperatori, dal 253 al 273 D.C. The hull lies under a sand dune in shallow water. There are no traces of the cargo: possibly the coins would be used to buy goods, maybe Sicilian wheat. Lo scafo giace sotto una duna di sabbia a bassa profondità: non si sono trovate tracce del carico: forse le monete avrebbero dovuto essere usate per comperare merci, probabilmente grano Siciliano. . |
