Fascinating!
"The peculiarity of this is that the wreck could be almost intact," Lt Col Francesco Schilardi of the police divers' group told the BBC.

The group of divers who found the vessel say it would be technically feasible to raise it Confusedhock:

But why are police divers doing this? Do they suspect 1st-century foul play?

I suspect the wreck was found as a result of illegal activities?
