Zaklad na dnu jezera: ladja, polna rimskih skrivnosti, ki je kar 2000 let čakala na odkritje

Potapljači so odkrili 2000 let staro trgovsko ladjo, polno artefaktov, ki razkrivajo življenje in trgovino v rimskem obdobju. Najdba vključuje meče, amfore, keramiko in orodje, vse v izjemno dobrem stanju, kar arheologom omogoča vpogled v rimsko logistiko in trgovske poti.

Na dnu švicarskega jezera Neuchâtel so potapljači naleteli na ostanke rimske trgovske ladje, ki je tam tiho počivala več kot dve tisočletji. Razbitina je skrivala meče gladius, amfore z oljčnim oljem, keramiko in orodje, vse ohranjeno v tako dobrem stanju, da bi potapljači skoraj lahko odprli starodavno spletno trgovino.

Odkritje, ki so ga omogočili Kantonalni arheološki urad Neuchâtel (OARC), fundacija Octopus in Arheološka služba kantona Fribourg, je presenetilo celo izkušene strokovnjake. »Bogastvo in raznolikost te zbirke predmetov v izjemno dobrem stanju naredita to odkritje izjemno,« so povedali arheologi. Predmeti so datirani med leti 20 in 50 n. št.

Rimljani obvladali logistiko

Poleg bogate zbirke je presenetila tudi organizacija blaga na ladji. Ni bilo raztresenih predmetov ali neurejenih kupov, vse je bilo lepo zloženo, kot bi nekdo pravkar shranil blago v skladišče. Več sto posod iz osrednje Švice, španske amfore za olje, kolesa vozov in orodje kažejo, da so Rimljani logistiko obvladali bolje kot marsikatero sodobno podjetje. Dva meča gladius pa nakazujeta, da trgovina takrat ni bila povsem varna dejavnost.

Dragocene artefakte bodo razstavili v muzeju Laténium v Hauterivu. Arheologi upajo, da bo zaklad razkril več o trgovskih poteh, proizvodnji blaga in življenju ljudi, ki so pred tisočletji pluli po švicarskih jezerih.
