True Spain

Helmets found off the coast of Spain were mistakenly identified as Roman for 30 years but are actually a lost medieval cargo.

The claims regarding the helmets found off the coast of Spain have been substantiated by multiple sources. Initially thought to be Roman, these helmets have been reclassified as medieval, dating to the late 14th or early 15th century. This reclassification is supported by recent research and dating efforts, as reported by Yahoo News and GreekReporter.com. The evidence strongly supports both claims that the helmets were misidentified for 30 years and are part of a lost medieval cargo.
