Were any of the amphora unbroken? Is the wine still good?

I just looked up "amphora" and learned this: "characteristic shape and size which fit tightly against each other in storage rooms and packages, tied together with rope and delivered by land or sea. "

I never thought about the nesting characteristics of that shape as a way to maximize transportation efficiency.

My sources at Interpol tell me some of the looted wine has already been sold to a rich American boozer.

Do they have any idea whose ship this was, Roman, Carthaginian, or Scandinavian?

Was this a trading ship on the tin trade route?

“for more than 2,000 years has been damaged and looted”

I should think teredo would have eaten them long since.

To borrow from the bard, ships have sunk and worms have eaten them...
