Roman road discovered in the Venice lagoon

Summary by Ground News

Italian researchers have uncovered the remains of a now submerged ancient Roman road that cut through the lagoon of the canal city. The scientists used sonar to identify elongated structures that run for more than one kilometer at a depth of around five meters. Most of the remains that showed up on the sonar screen were batches of “basoli,” the large flattened stones that Romans used to pave the network of roads.
