Underwater excavations have uncovered Roman remains off the coast of Portorož, Slovenia. Besides 3000 ceramic items such as fragments of amphorae and kitchenware, two different masts (dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD) made of either fir and spruce wood were recovered. Studies suggest that these masts had been repurposed for use as moorings or as structural supports. These finds support the idea that the port may have been part of a thriving trade network in the Roman Empire. https://archaeologymag.com/2024/03/remains-of-ancient-harbor-near-portoroz-slovenia/ https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/03/study-finds-submerged-roman-remains/150911 https://sloveniatimes.com/40232/remains-of-ancient-harbour-found-near-portoroz
