Synopsis
This book delves into the history of ancient ships, from the first water-faring vessels with oars through the massive, multi-tiered warships of ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece, and beyond. Through extensive research, the author meticulously analyzes the arrangement of oars to power these ships and the implications these arrangements had on the war strategies of the time. The author begins the book with early Egyptian ships and concludes it with the late Roman and Byzantine vessels that used rowers. This scholarly work is not only a comprehensive look at ancient ships but also a fascinating and thorough examination of the ancient world's naval warfare.
