The exploration continues, new discoveries are made one after another, and surprises large and small are constantly appearing, so that everyone is a little overwhelmed.

The discoveries and surprises range from ancient statues and fragments, shipwrecks, other antique works of art, to rusty ancient weapons.

Because of the appearance of these antique relics, the sensational effect caused by the exploration of the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck is rapidly expanding.

More and more eyes looked at this sea area, at the shipwreck treasure that had been sleeping in the depths of the ocean for two thousand years, at the two Aurora mini-submarines that were exploring the treasure, and at Ye Tian.

There is no shortage of covetous eyes, and jealous guys whose eyes are blood-red.

Ye Tian had expected this, and he didn't care at all.

At this time, he was concentrating on exploring this huge ancient Roman shipwreck treasure, which was the most important thing.

As for other things, let's see the moves, in a word, don't want to take advantage of Lao Tzu!

As he spoke, Ye Tian and their small submarine dived for another half meter or so, suspended above a piece of sand.

Immediately afterwards, a mechanical gripper suddenly poked out of the belly of the submarine, plunged deep into the sand directly below, grabbed or pulled out a gold coin from the depths of the sand, and held it up in front of the transparent cockpit.

At Ye Tian's suggestion, Vites used another mechanical arm to gently scrape off the sand attached to the gold coin, revealing the original face of the gold coin.

It is an ancient gold coin with an irregular circle, and although it has been sleeping in the depths of the ocean for a thousand or two thousand years, it still radiates a dazzling light when illuminated.

On the obverse of this coin, there are two superimposed human heads, one male and one female, which can be clearly seen from the contours of the face.

To be precise, this is supposed to be the head of a certain king and queen, and the crown they wear on their heads is enough to indicate their identity.

Directly above these two superimposed heads, a small line of ancient Greek inscription, or a word, is inscribed, and the handwriting is clearly legible.

On the reverse of this coin, there are also two superimposed heads, one male and one female, and the heads of a king and queen, who appear to be a little older.

Like the obverse of the coin, there is also a small line of ancient Greek on top of the two superimposed heads, or words, that are not the same as the word on the obverse.

Obverse to obverse, this ancient gold coin is a fine work of art with excellent craftsmanship and extremely detailed and realistic depictions of the figures.

At the first glance of this ancient gold coin, Ye Tian's face appropriately flashed with surprise.

Not only him, but also the experts and scholars in the sea exploration fleet, as well as many experts and scholars on the live broadcast side, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Of course, there are also some knowledgeable guys whose eyes are even redder, and those who are jealous are going crazy.

After carefully appreciating the front and back of this ancient gold coin, Ye Tian gave his own appraisal conclusion, and his tone was quite excited.

This is an antique gold coin from the Hellenistic era, struck between 282 and 246 BC, during the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty, one of the three major dynasties of the Hellenistic era.

To be precise, this is a gold coin made during the reign of Ptolemy II, and it is also one of the famous 'Holy Brothers and Sisters' series of gold coins of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which is an invaluable treasure in the field of antique coin collecting.

This antique gold coin, called the Ptolemy II 8 Drachma Gold Coin, weighs about 27.73 carats, the purity of the gold coin is not bad, the craftsmanship is excellent, and it can be called a work of art.

With the advent of this antique gold coin, we can be sure that these ancient shipwrecks, which sank deep under the sea, must have been sunk in the Hellenistic era and later, not in ancient Greece."

Listening to Ye Tian's analysis, whether it was the experts and scholars in the exploration fleet, as well as the many professionals on the live broadcast side, they all nodded, and no one raised any objections.

The most direct evidence is in front of everyone's eyes, and who can question it? Isn't that embarrassing yourself!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Going back to this antique gold coin, the obverse of this coin is engraved with the superimposed heads of Ptolemy II and Queen Arsinoey II, and the Greek word for 'brother and sister' is engraved on it.

On the reverse of this antique gold coin are the superimposed heads of Ptolemy I and Queen Belonesi I, with the ancient Greek word engraved on the head, which means 'holy'.

Unlike all other antique coins, this Ptolemy II 8 drachma coin features superimposed heads of the first two kings and queens of the Ptolemaic dynasty on both sides.

This is one of the reasons why this type of antique gold coin is so rare, and there is a very important history behind this antique gold coin.

As you can see, the front and back of this antique gold coin are engraved with the ancient Greek words 'brother and sister' and 'sacred' respectively, so this antique gold coin is also known as the 'holy brother and sister' gold coin.

The 'Divine Brothers and Sisters' series of gold coins, unique to the Ptolemaic dynasty, have no semicolon and the name faithfully reflects the special relationship between the heads of the characters on the coins.

To put it simply, Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II were close relatives with their respective queens, and they were very close cousins, so they were called holy brothers and sisters.

This consanguineous marriage, one might even say messy, gave the Ptolemaic royal family a very famous genetic disease, protruding eyes and a thick neck.

If you look closely at this antique gold coin, as well as other Ptolemaic 'Holy Brothers and Sisters' gold coins, you can see a clue that it is a true reflection of Greek history.

Because of this, the Ptolemaic 'Holy Brother and Sister' antique gold coin is so precious and hard to find, and it can be said that it is very fortunate to be able to find this antique gold coin today."

At the same time as Ye Tian explained, Vitesse manipulated the mechanical gripper to present every angle of the 'Divine Brother and Sister' antique gold coin in front of the high-definition underwater camera lens and in front of everyone's eyes.

Listening to this professional and wonderful explanation, looking at this dazzling antique gold coin, everyone felt a sense of dazzle, and everyone secretly admired.

"Wow! Steven is so exaggerated, it seems that there is nothing he doesn't know, no antique art he doesn't know, no wonder this guy can find so many treasures!

"If it weren't for Steven's professional explanation, even if I put this antique gold coin in front of me, I would never believe that such a beautiful gold coin actually came from the Hellenistic era more than 2,200 years ago!"

After the explanation, Ye Tian asked Vitesse to put away the gold Ptolemy II 8 drachma coin and put it in a storage box outside the submarine.

Immediately afterward, the small submarine slowly sailed forward and continued its exploration.

Just about a meter forward, the sound of a metal detector sounded again in the cockpit, although it was a little harsh, but in everyone's ears, it was extremely moving and like a heavenly sound.

Ye Tian looked at the signal presented on the LCD screen in front of him, as well as the three-dimensional scanning image, and then said with a chuckle:

"Guys, it looks like we've found another batch of antique gold and silver coins, deep in the sand directly below the submarine, and there are quite a few of them, and there must be some of them of the best priceless goods.

However, we don't have to grab it this time, just make a mark, and when we have explored the general situation of this shipwreck treasure and started salvage operations, we will clean up these antique gold coins."

"Understood, Steven"

Charlie and Vitesse answered in unison, and quickly made their markings.

Immediately afterward, the seven-seat Aurora mini-submarine was ready to move forward again and continue to explore this huge shipwreck treasure.

At this moment, Matisse's excited voice suddenly came from the intercom system.

"Steven, we've found another shipwreck, and we've scanned a number of ancient weapons near the wreckage, some of which look like Roman daggers.

It's a slight difference from the wreck of the ship that was found earlier, and while I can't see what the difference between the two means, I'm sure you'll find something."

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Good job, Mattis, send me all the 3D images you scanned, let me analyze them and see if I can find anything different."

The next moment, Matisse sent over the images of the scanned hull wreckage and many ancient weapons.

Ye Tian looked at these images carefully, groaned slightly, and then gave the answer.

"I can say with certainty that this is a very significant discovery, and Matisse, the wreckage and ancient weapons you have found may explain the origin of this shipwreck treasure.

You found that the wreck of the hull was supposed to be a Roman warship, and the metal ramming angle in the bow and the distinctive Roman daggers are the most direct evidence.

In the Hellenistic era, the Roman short sword was the standard for Roman soldiers, and the metal ramming angle in the bow of the ship, judging from its shape, was also the most commonly used metal ramming angle on the warships of the Roman Empire.

The wreck of the ship's hull that was discovered before looks more like a Greek warship from the Hellenistic era, and the ancient Greek war dolphin you first found is the most powerful proof of this.

Although these two ancient warships are very similar, they are still different in some local details, and it can be inferred that an epic sea battle has unconsciously appeared in front of my eyes!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly became brighter, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

Next, through the mouth of Ye Tian, more than 2,000 years ago, a shocking battle that took place in the Ionian Sea slowly kicked off!
