Antikythera Shipwreck Cargo
70–60 BCE
The Antikythera shipwreck, discovered by sponge divers in 1900, yielded the most extraordinary collection of ancient artifacts ever found at sea — including the Antikythera Mechanism, bronze statues, glassware, and jewelry. Ongoing excavations continue to reveal new finds, suggesting the ship was carrying luxury goods from Greece to Rome.
