Roman? It's Greek to me...........Per the article, it was on a Roman ship, but reading it again the computer was probably Greek.

The device markings were in Greek, but the ship was probably Roman. They don't know if it was a part of the ship's navigation or was a piece of cargo? Whatever it was, only a rich merchant or traveler could have owned it.......
