The Atllt Ram
Nearly 2,500 years ago in the waters of the eastern Mediterranean, a war galley foundered and sank. The great bronze battering ram became detached from the front of the vessel and disappeared into the mud and sand. In 1980 an Israeli diver found the ram and had it brought ashore - the only example so far recovered.
Anthony Smith reports from the University of Haifa, where he saw the ram. and learned of the insights it offers.
