Another battering ram was discovered off the coast of Sicily in the Aegates archipelago. It is believed to be from the Battle of Aegates on 10 March 241 BCE.

The Battle of Aegates was the final and deciding battle of the 23-year-long First Punic War (264-241 BCE) between Carthage and Rome.

Reportedly, this is the 27th battering ram found from the battle. (The previous post below details earlier recoveries of battering rams from the site.)
