Maybe underwater archaeology is just on my mind right now, but here’s some new archaeology relating to one of the most important battles in the history of Western civilization:
Sadly, there’ve been lots and lots of battles. And many of them are rightly called “important.” But only a few — Hastings, for example, and ‘Ayn Jalut and a few others — can justly be termed “pivotal,” “epoch-making,” battles that decisively altered human history. The battle of Salamis is one of those.
