ABSTRACT

On 10 March 241 BC the last naval battle of the 1st Punic War was fought off Sicily in the Aegates (modern Egadi) Island group. A large debris field on the sea-floor northwest of Levanzo Island is clearly the result of the battle between Rome and Carthage. In a controlled experiment, replica artefacts were dropped into the sea over the battle zone and their movements tracked to reveal certain aspects of the site’s formation. The experiment’s results explain the spatial relationships between some of the artefacts and suggest that many Greco-Italic amphoras may have been filled with grain.

从碎片场到第一次布匿战争战役地图：埃加迪战区的场地形成

摘要

公元前 241 年 3 月 10 日，第一次布匿战争的最后一次海战在西西里岛附近的埃盖茨（现代埃加迪）岛群中进行。莱万佐岛西北部海底的一大片残骸显然是罗马和迦太基之间战斗的结果。在一项对照实验中，复制的人工制品被抛入战区上方的海中，并跟踪它们的运动以揭示该地点形成的某些方面。实验结果解释了一些人工制品之间的空间关系，并表明许多希腊-斜体双耳瓶可能已经装满了谷物。
