Archaeological evidence for Cape Ecnomus

Is there archaeological evidence for the Battle of Cape Ecnomus?

Yes; recovered naval rams and the recorded display of captured prows support the surviving historical accounts.

Archaeology cannot recover a complete fleet action from the third century BC, but it can test the surviving accounts. Naval rams associated with Roman and Carthaginian warfare provide physical evidence for the ships and violence described. Ancient sources also report captured Carthaginian prows displayed on Rome's speakers' platform. Together with the written record, those finds make the Battle of Cape Ecnomus as well supported as this kind of ancient event can reasonably be.
