Let me nitpick just a bit:

> the Riace Bronzes of Greek warriors found in the sea off Sicily

Well, Riace is in Calabria, not in Sicily. If you want to insert a nice quote in your article, how difficult and time consuming can be to check on the internet it in 2016?

Unnecessary nitpick. The sea is between Calabria and Sicily.

Ehm, no, not really!

Same question for you as for the author: how long would have it taken to check?

Your argument re: Off Calabria vs Sicily left an ambiguous zone. Showing Riace Marina is much more convincing - I now agree :)
