I have some coins from a Greek shipwreck of about the same vintage. They are not in great shape but they are still neat to have nonetheless.

[Dustbunny]

Wow, great find.

[FreedomFarmer]

Imagine spending a decade sailing, swimming, diving, and exploring the Med, with the approval of all the governments, and getting paid for it.

That's some seriously aged wine!
