A well-preserved sunken Roman ship from the 2^nd-3^rd century AD has been discovered by a Russian underwater archaeology expedition in the Black Sea, off the coast of Balaklava on the Crimean Peninsula.

The Ancient Roman ship lies at a depth of about 85 meters (280 feet), and the underwater archaeologists have been able to date the vessel largely thanks to the discovery of its iron anchor, Tass reports.

Russia’s military forces seized Crimea from Ukraine in early 2014 and shortly afterwards annexed the Black Sea peninsula.
