1,000 Roman objects were found in Lake Switzerland, and they are almost perfectly preserved

In an amazing find for archaeology, over 1,000 Roman artefacts have been uncovered in Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, offering an insight into life at the time of the Roman Empire. The artefacts were unearthed underwater and are thought to form part of the cargo on board a ship that sank nearly two millennia ago.

Discoveries like this highlight how underwater archaeology is transforming our understanding of history. Hidden beneath lakes and seas, such sites preserve details that are often lost on land, offering a rare and untouched glimpse into ancient civilisations.
