Ancient Roman Road Discovered at the Bottom of Venice Lagoon

Rising waters threaten Venice’s cultural heritage, but untold treasures may already be hidden on the seafloor. Beneath the murky waves of the Venice Lagoon, researchers have discovered the remains of an ancient Roman road and other possible port facilities, like a dock, that may predate the founding of the Italian city. Their findings were published on Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.
