Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,200-year-old Roman helmet during an underwater survey near the Aegadian Islands, off the western coast of Sicily. The rare find is linked to the First Punic War, fought between 264 and 241 BC, when Rome and Carthage battled for dominance in the western Mediterranean.
