Egadi 8 Ram

photo of Egadi 8 Ram

An intact ram was located in the northern sector of PW-A; it sat upright and was buried in the sediment up to its upper fin. The areas directly around and adjacent to the ram were excavated in order to facilitate the ram’s removal and to ascertain the ram’s condition.The ram’s location was near a Punic amphora and two other Greco-Italic V/VI amphoras. The ram’s form is similar to that of the Egadi 2-7 rams, and it shares an identical iconographic element on the cowl nosing to the Egadi 7 ram: a helmet with three feathers protruding from top.
