 An intact Roman ship, dating from AD 320 and discovered on the seabed in the Bay of Palma, Mallorca, has been raised. The vessel, known as Ses Fontanelles, was hidden until 2019, when a storm shifted the seabed.

More than 300 amphorae loaded with products such as olive oil, wine, and fermented sauces (garum) were found.

Among the findings are an oil lamp depicting the goddess Diana alongside amphorae marked with the Christian symbol of the Chi-Rho. These findings reveal a pagan culture coexisting with an emerging Christian culture.
