New evidence of a Roman road in the Venice Lagoon (Italy) based on high resolution seafloor reconstruction

Abstract This study provides new evidence of the presence of an ancient Roman road in correspondence to a paleobeach ridge now submerged in the Venice Lagoon (Italy). New high resolution underwater seafloor data shed new light on the significance of the Roman remains in the lagoon. The interpretatio...
