意大利潜水员在西西里岛附近海域发现一艘有着2100年历史的古罗马沉船残骸，船上堆满数百件保存完好的古代陶制罐子——即安福拉瓶（ amphorae），这类容器大概率曾用于运输葡萄酒。
这艘沉船被意大利文化部长亚历山德罗·朱利称为“近年来最重要的水下考古发现之一”，它位于马扎拉-德尔瓦洛海岸约3英里外的海域。
巴勒莫警方文化遗产保护部门的潜水员于周六表示，他们在渔民提供线索后，在水下约150英尺处找到了这艘沉船。据考证，这艘船的建造年代为公元前2世纪至公元前1世纪之间。
水下渔民贾科莫·德·莫拉在Instagram帖子中称，他在船载水下扫描仪上发现了一个类似岩石的“物体”。德·莫拉表示，尽管如此他还是决定下水探查，结果发现了他口中“毫无疑问是我一生中最不可思议的发现”。
“能见度不是很好……我靠近了些。然后我的心脏都停跳了。我下方是一望无际的安福拉瓶群，”德·莫拉在这篇Instagram帖子中写道，同时附上了此次发现的视频 footage。
他表示自己“立刻”将这一发现报告给了西西里海域海事主管部门。
“在将近二十个世纪之后，能成为第一批重见这片海域的人类之一，这种感觉难以用言语形容，”他说道。
据当地媒体报道，这艘沉船长约21米，宽约6米，船上装载的主要是德雷塞尔1A型安福拉瓶——这类容器高筒状，主要用于运输葡萄酒。

Italian divers have discovered the 2,100-year-old wreck of a Roman ship off Sicily, piled high with hundreds of well-preserved ancient clay jars, known as amphorae, which were likely used to transport wine.
The wreck, dubbed by Italy’s Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli as “one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries of recent years”, was found some three miles off the coast of Mazara del Vallo.
Divers from the cultural heritage protection arm of Palermo’s police said Saturday they had located the ship, thought to date to between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, some 150 feet down, after a tip-off from fishermen.
In an Instagram post, underwater fishermen Giacomo De Mola described seeing “something” on his boat’s underwater scanner which resembled a rock. De Mola said he decided to dive and investigate anyway, when he stumbled upon what he described as “without a doubt, the most incredible discovery of my life.”
“Visibility wasn’t the best… I got closer. And my heart stopped. Below me was a vast expanse of amphorae,” De Mola said in the instagram post, along with video footage of the discovery.
He said he “immediately” reported the discovery to the Superintendent of the sea of the Sicilian Region.

“It’s hard to explain what it feels like to be among the first human beings, after almost twenty centuries, to see that place again,” he said.
The ship, reported in local media to be some 21 metres long and six metres wide, was mostly carrying Dressel 1A amphorae, which were tall and cylindrical, and mainly used for carrying wine.
