Ancient Shipwrecks of the Adriatic: Maritime Transport During the First and Second Centuries Ad (Bar S) Mario Jurisic

A study of the maritime connections between the Adriatic and Mediterranean from the first Greek contacts and subsequent Greek colonisation, through to the Roman and Early Byzantine periods. Much of the information comes from underwater sites and finds, allowing the reconstruction of cargoes, ships and harbours and sea routes. The cargoes, comprising largely pottery vessels, glass, stone and metal objects, are illustrated alongside maps of their origins and distribution. An important corpus of material including a catalogue of sites.
