The Fiscardo shipwreck is among the largest four shipwrecks dating from this period to have been found in the Mediterranean.
Ten Greek archaeologists published in the Journal of Archaeological Science their research on an ancient Roman shipwreck dating back to the time of Jesus Christ and was discovered off the coast of the island of Cephalonia loaded down with jugs used to store wine.
The ship is thought to measure 33m in length, which indicates that it may have been among the largest ships cross the Mediterranean during the period, as it was significantly longer than the average merchant ship sailed by the Romans at that time, which was around 15-20m long.
Experts believe up to 6,000 amphorae were on board when he ship went down.
