The most iconic Roman shipwreck in Greece was discovered, in 1900, by sponge divers, close the island of Antikythera. The several archaeological investigations and projects carried out during more than one century have still not concluded so much about the dimension and characteristics of the ship. An analysis of the few wooden remains of the hull and a precise evaluation of the volume and weight of the entire cargo, carried out thanks to a study of any kind of information publicly available, allows the authors to formulate a hypothesis about the main characteristics of the ship.

Abstract
The most iconic Roman shipwreck in Greece was discovered, in 1900, by sponge divers, close the island of Antikythera. The several archaeological investigations and projects carried out during more than one century have still not concluded so much about the dimension and characteristics of the ship. An analysis of the few wooden remains of the hull and a precise evaluation of the volume and weight of the entire cargo, carried out thanks to a study of any kind of information publicly available, allows the authors to formulate a hypothesis about the main characteristics of the ship.
