Avete omes,
For me the Discovery Channel program was real interesting. I had read a bit about the Nemi Ships but never payed too much attention to the details. Upon watching the program I was amazed at the finds and the sophistication of Roman naval engineering. And the fact that ships of that magnitude were being built in that era was just fascinating to say the least. What I am really exited about is how the reconstruction of these ships will turn out.
