EGADI RAM AT BRITISH MUSEUM


From April the BM have an exhibition about 'Sicily: Culture and Conquest'. It will include one of the Egadi rams - I presume the one illustrated which is Ram 6 I think. 4 and 6 have the interesting history of maybe being reused captured Roman ships sunk by the Romans. A trieres-sized vessel.

ASHMOLEAN UPDATE!
I have heard thathe Ashmolean exhibition, 'Storms War and Shipwrecks' will actually include TWO Egadi rams including the Punic one,
