Finds from 1st Punic War Sicilian Naval Battle
#7
Quote:Any pics of these finds (especially the helmets)?

There were pictures in the presentation, but unfortunately I don't think anything has been published yet. Many finds were heavily encrusted with sea life because they had been sitting exposed on sand for millennia, but many rams and helmets have already been cleaned.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
