An underwater exploration of what appears to be a Roman city submerged in the Mediterranean has been green-lamped by Egyptian authorities, according to Reuters News Agency.

Archaeologists have already discovered buildings, bathrooms, ruins of a Roman fortress, ancient coins, bronze vases and pieces of pottery that all date back to the Roman era.

According to Reuters, an excavation team also uncovered four bridges that belonged to a submerged castle, part of which had been discovered on the Mediterranean coastline in 1910.

Further research is expected to yield a greater understanding of Egypt's past during the Roman era.
