Off the western coast of Sicily, near the Egadi Islands, divers have pulled up something extraordinary: a bronze helmet that likely belonged to a warrior who fought in one of the most decisive naval battles of the ancient world. This helmet, dating back to the 241 BC Battle of the Egadi Islands, isn’t just another relic; it’s a tangible link to the chaotic, bloody final clash that ended the First Punic War and changed the course of Mediterranean history.
