  16. Ancient harbors were far larger than their surviving walls suggest

    Ancient Mediterranean harbors are often judged by the structures still visible today. Quays, jetties and moles form the clearest traces, so they often shape estimates of how many ships a port once handled. A new study argues for a wider view.
