English:
Bronze Carthaginian naval ram dated from or before the Battle of the Egadi Islands, First Punic War (241 B.C.). Discovered in 2010 at a depth of 80 meters. Shows damage in the form of V-shaped scratches, attributed to frontal collision(s) with Roman ships (ram against ram). A single line of Punic letters with 35 characters, offered as a supplication to the god Baal, is present.
